Targeting individuals or communities? Learnings from AfriScout on improving pastoralists’ well-being

Summarises study findings and highlights learning for policymakers and future programme design.

Abstract

To better understand the causal impacts of the two AfriScout models, SPARC partner Causal Design conducted a 2 year, mixed-methods impact evaluation. The evaluation sought to identify the attributable outcomes of AfriScout on pastoralist decision making and subsequent impacts on rangeland conditions and herd conditions.

This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises  (SPARC) programme.
