ASAL Humanitarian Network (AHN)
Strengthening Local Leadership Through Strategic Partnership
Donors & Partners
AHN’s ability to drive locally led humanitarian and development action is made possible through the commitment and collaboration of its diverse partners. These alliances—spanning donors, INGOs, philanthropic institutions, and global networks—enable the network to expand its reach, enhance technical capacity, and mobilize resources in support of ASAL communities. Together, we are reshaping the aid ecosystem by advancing localization, promoting equity, and fostering inclusive, community-driven solutions.
