The Social Protection Action Research Knowledge Sharing (SPARKS) aims to establish global, interdisciplinary research network that will facilitate action-oriented research on the public health impact of social protection, with a main focus on low- and middle-income countries. SPARKS facilitates networking between prominent research institutions, public health practitioners, development organizations and civil society in order to: a) pursue a common research agenda and generate impact and operational evidence; b) catalyze and coordinate interdisciplinary action; and c) foster knowledge sharing and mobilize financial resources. The current SPARKS work plan can be found at:

Now that the SPARKS network is established we need to reconvene to take stock of the progress so far and further discuss the mandate and methods of how our network will function as well as its future direction.
