Devex asked, "What is the future of the INGO?" We answered. Corus International was intentionally designed to be "the INGO of the future." In alignment with localization, holistic programming and local partnerships that bolster locally led development are fundamental to who we are and how we operate. Our role as an INGO is to accompany our local partners in development–to share resources, expertise and access so that the work and results are more equitable and sustainable. "For me, localization is not a zero-sum, either-or proposition. There is plenty of space for collaboration based on complementary strengths and assets, and it just has to be reconfigured in a way that is...more equitable, and...more reflective of the importance of context, local community rootedness, and knowledge." - Tim McCully, Executive VP, Impact and Partnership Read the Devex article: https://bit.ly/4dgc8px Learn more about our accompaniment model: https://bit.ly/4cVtKY3 #localization #futureINGO #Devex #accompaniment

Like most in her in small village in Nepal, Suman Chaudhary (photo 1) was raised to believe a woman’s place is in the home. She was too shy to even speak to strangers, preferring household chores over public errands. But recently, she found herself at the forefront of a rescue effort when a neighbor became trapped by floodwaters. Several years ago, through Corus organization Lutheran World Relief, Suman became involved in the local Community Disaster Management Committee. These committees equip people in flood-prone areas to alert each other about rising waters, conduct search and rescue efforts, and protect their families, livestock and crops from dangerous floods. Another benefit of the committee is the substantial boost in confidence women have experienced through their participation. They are now significantly more involved in local leadership and aren't afraid to use their voices. Suman said she was the only person around when one of her neighbors, who had crossed the river to gather grass for her cattle, got caught in a flash flood. "I was afraid to be the one responsible for the rescue,” she recalls. However, she quickly remembered her training and took action to grab a rope and life preserver. "I called out for help, and a man who lived nearby came. Together we brought the woman to safety.” On World Drowning Prevention Day, Suman and fellow committee member Sita Chaudhary (photo 2) show some of the supplies they keep close by in case of flooding. #WorldDrowningPrevention #DisasterRiskReduction #DRR #Nepal #India #FloodPrevention #ClimateResilience

Improving maternal, newborn and child health is a pressing issue in Nepal. Despite progress, critical issues in health care access and quality keep maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality rates high. The Baal Swasthya project, a collaboration of Corus organizations Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health, is transforming health outcomes by reducing barriers and enhancing health services. Innovative components of the project include the E-MOTIVE intervention package and the non-pneumatic antishock garment (NASG) to address postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal mortality. By partnering with the Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (NESOG), Baal Swasthya has strengthened the capacity of health care workers to implement the E-MOTIVE package and utilize the NASG in clinical settings. Learn more about how the project is making a difference and contributing to positive MNCH outcomes in Nepal here: https://bit.ly/3SjeNHb Pictured: Nurse Puspa Oli practices using the NASG during project training. #Nepal #HealthCare #HealthSystems #HealthSystemStrengthening #CapacityStrengthening #EMOTIVE #NASG #MaternalHealth #MaternalNewbornChildHealth #MNCH
