BRCiS Multi-Donor Drought Response

The BRCiS Multi-Donor Drought Response dashboard has been meticulously crafted to exemplify the extent and influence of the multi-donor intervention during the drought crisis that profoundly affected Somalia between 2022 and 2023, following a series of five successive rain season failures. This initiative’s success was made achievable through the collaborative financial support from esteemed entities, namely the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), formerly recognized as UKAID, USAID, and the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD).

Savings groups perfomance dashboard

Savings groups are commonly used interventions by NGOs working in fragile contexts to build the resilience of vulnerable groups against recurring shocks. Yet, rigorous evidence demonstrating specific impacts is still nascent in the context of Somalia. BRCiS continues to contribute to ongoing learning efforts by analyzing its own savings group activities, building on available operational data and survey insights from group participants. This intervention was funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office FCDO).

Tanzania SAIRLA dashboard

The Sustainable Intensification of Agricultural Research and Learning in Africa (SAIRLA) Programme was a UK Department for International Development-funded initiative that sought to generate evidence and design tools to enable governments, investors and other key actors to deliver more effective policies and investments in sustainable agricultural intensification that strengthen the capacity of poorer farmers, especially women and youth, to access and benefit from Sustainable Agricultural Intensification (SAI) in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. The SAIRLA programme was funded by the UK Department for International Development and managed by WYG International Ltd and the Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich.
