Supporting people in conflict-affected places can be complex and risky – but it is possible. Ignoring these countries is no longer an option. In the latest episode of #DynamicDrylands, a podcast produced by SPARC, experts Amir Khouzam and Musaed Aklan explore how conflict, fragile governance and climate vulnerability intersect in countries such as #Niger and #Yemen, and share practical entry points for NGOs working toward long-term resilience. SPARC Ideas (Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises) is a research programme comanaged by Cowater International. 🎧 Listen now or wherever you get your podcasts: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQW4z6Fy #Resilience #ClimateAdaptation #ConflictPrevention #SPARCideas

📢 Now live - Charting New Futures In Africa's Drylands 📽️ The new documentary from research programme SPARC Ideas follows five stories of pastoralists driving positive change in Africa’s drylands in #Kenya, #Nigeria and #SouthSudan: from a local NGO resolving farmer-herder conflicts, to pastoralist women who are turning climate shocks into new commercial opportunities. It paints a picture of Africa's #drylands you may not have seen: one of innovation, resilience and - largely unrecognised - potential. Released before the start of the UN’s International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026, this documentary sheds light on one of the most critical, but marginalised livelihoods in Africa - and how governments, NGOs and others can work with #pastoralists to build more resilient, peaceful drylands. ▶️ Watch now: https://ow.ly/KPq750Xee59 🔗 Or find out more about the research behind the stories: https://ow.ly/4cXf50Xee58 #SPARCideas is a research programme managed by Cowater International #IYRP2026

Cowater International is proud to share that our team in New Zealand’s ADB Brief on the Blue Economy in the Pacific, focusing on Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu, was published this month by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The brief examines how small island developing states can leverage their ocean resources for inclusive, climate-resilient growth, highlighting pathways for policy reform, regional collaboration, and private-sector investment to sustain livelihoods while protecting marine ecosystems. Already, the report’s insights are gaining traction across development platforms as a reference point for shaping evidence-based, sustainable blue economy strategies in the Pacific. 📘 Read the ADB Brief here: https://ow.ly/7tK650XcIVW 🌐 See it referenced in the media: https://ow.ly/BozB50XcIVV At Cowater, we are committed to partnering with governments, development banks, and communities to advance ocean governance, economic diversification, and climate resilience. Our experience across the Pacific—from water and sanitation to sustainable fisheries and public financial management—positions us to continue contributing knowledge, innovation, and technical excellence to the region’s blue economy agenda. #BlueEconomy #Pacific #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateResilience #KnowledgeLeadership #DevelopmentPartner #OceanEconomy #ADB #Kiribati #Tuvalu #MarshallIslands Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade Australian Aid
