Katharine Vincent @katharinevincent.bsky.social (center) - SPARC_Ideas is a strong collaboration between FCDO Research, Science and Technology, IDRC | CRDI & Development Canada to better understand #gender inequality & dynamics in pastoralist & conflict-affected environments in the #Sahel.

Localization of #developmentaid is critical to better understand the challenges of pastoralist, conflict-affected environments, like Somalia. Local NGOs can better access difficult areas, and deliver solutions. Joint SPARC_Ideas, IDRC | CRDI & Cowater International event on #foodsecurity

How can climate change adaptation strategies be 'gender-transformative'? One way is to ensure that climate strategies integrate gendered practices & knowledge - like this women-led method of preserving fish by 'braiding' in Jonglei State, South Sudan. buff.ly/3PzKmdq
