Gareth sets out the vision behind the DEC-funded programme Engine 2 - and how progressive localisation and local solutions will build the most agile response model in Ukraine. _____ Gareth Owen has been Humanitarian Director at Save the Children UK since 2007, having originally joined the organisation in January 2002 as an emergency adviser. With a background in civil engineering, he has spent the last 30 years working in humanitarian aid.
