Who Are We?

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy are a team within Save the Children UK, who work directly with the wider humanitarian community. We accelerate the movement for locally led humanitarian action by convening local voices, nurturing leaders, and driving collective action. 

What Do We Do?

We work in partnership with national/local organisations to create inspiring spaces where participants exchange ideas, build relationships and align on a collective vision for a locally led humanitarian system. 

We nurture a network of compassionate, skilled and visionary local leaders who challenge power imbalances and drive lasting change within their communities and beyond. Through kayaconnect.org 

By driving locally led research and harnessing our networks and alliances, we drive collective action and advocate to reshape power dynamics and promote locally led action.

Our commitment is to: 

  • Strengthen the capacity of organisations to prepare for and respond to crises 
  • Provide a range of quality, accessible and relevant learning opportunities to suit the needs of individuals through our free learning platform Kaya
  • Amplify the activities and voices of local and national humanitarian actors globally
