MatchLocal is an independent non-profit organisation strengthening local leadership in crisis affected areas.

We believe in localisation as a powerful driver for enhanced resilience and sustainable peace and development.

We want to see strong local actors driving change for human development in their societies.

Our mission is to support local organisations in implementing their solutions through better access to international funding. With capacity sharing we make local ideas, donor requirements and international committments match.

We work closely with specialised partners and experts in the Matchmakers Community to provide a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” approach to specific local needs and requirements.
