The Localization Barometer Project in Nigeria represents a significant milestone in our
collective journey toward strengthening locally led humanitarian and development action. The
initiative led by the Community of Adamawa Civil Organization (CACO) in Nigeria, sets out to
assess the extent, quality, and impact of localization efforts within the Nigerian operating
context—while amplifying the perspectives, experiences, and leadership of local and national
actors.
The Localization Barometer Project provided a participatory framework for measuring
progress against six key localization dimensions, covering: Capacity strengthening,
Coordination, Access to funds, Partnerships, Participation, Policy Influence & Advocacy.
The report of the study was launched in Jimeta Yola, Adamawa State. Amb. Peter Michael
Egwudah who is the Programme Coordinator of CISCOPE doubles as the chairman of CACO.
