SPARK (Strengthening Public Accountability for Results and Knowledge) is an ambitious and innovative global program to arm marginalized groups and activists with the tools necessary to engage in budget processes and affect transformational change in their lives. In Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa, we are partnering with large, powerful civic organizations and social movements and equipping them with the tools necessary to engage government on the fiscal reasons underlying the service delivery gaps faced by their communities.
As governments around the world acted swiftly to shift public resources to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, our SPARK partners reacted quickly to protect spending allocations for critical sectors as well as advocate for expanded COVID-19-related relief for vulnerable populations whose lives and livelihoods were devastated by the pandemic.
