Background
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within now, and for the future.
Mercy Corps is committed to generating and using evidence to understand and improve our impact, and to enhance the humanitarian and development community’s ability to address the world’s most complex challenges. The Research and Learning team advances Mercy Corps’ ability to influence major debates and decisions affecting our work, and to deliver high impact programming by supporting the generation and use of high-quality evidence. Our external influence and internal learning are most effective when underpinned by substantive research on issues where we have expertise and a credible voice. Questions on types of policies and programs can best strengthen the resilience of populations affected by recurrent and protracted crises are major priorities for our research, technical, and program teams around the world.
Program Summary
The Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) is a six-year (2020– 2025) program. It aims to develop, broker and manage knowledge, in order to enhance the ability of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), His Majesty’s Government (HMG) and the broader development community to assist pastoralists, agropastoralists and farmers living in the context of climate change, protracted crises and ongoing conflicts. The program is led by Cowater International and co-delivered with Overseas Development Institute (ODI), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Mercy Corps.
SPARC’s ultimate objective is to help communities in the drylands of East, North and West Africa and the Middle East to increase their resilience to recurring shocks and protracted crises. SPARC does this by supporting more effective interventions and a better understanding of the challenges in these communities. Specifically, SPARC:
- Informs the decision-making process for policies, programs, or practice affecting these dryland communities (instrumental changes).
- Influences how stakeholders involved in and affected by decision-making processes think about social, economic and environmental issues in the drylands and how these interact (conceptual changes)
- Enhances the collective ability and competencies of actors who have a stake in decision making processes (capacity changes).
