Abstract
This chapter explores the unfulfilled promises of the Northern-led ‘aid localization’ that has been initiated in the fields of humanitarian aid and development,as well as the opportunities this shift has nonetheless created for local actors from the South to reclaim the lead in decision making in cooperation with donors. The idea of localizing aid dates back to the 1980s and practices and discourses around this idea have evolved and developed in varied ways ever since. In the last couple of decades, these practices and discourses have merged with wider frames of development aid and humanitarian assistance. Analysis of this evolution has concluded that it is constitutive of a new paradigm of ‘self-reliance’
