These appendices accompany a SPARC study ‘Supporting pastoralists through AfriScout Steward and Regen: Impact evaluation’, which evaluates two digital apps that aim to support pastoralists: AfriScout Steward and AfriScout Regen.

Global Communities’ AfriScout Regen (in Ethiopia) provides direct technical support to communities. This support builds on and improves traditional grazing practices so that livestock movement promotes vegetation regeneration. AfriScout Steward (in Kenya), provides satellite and crowd-sourced information on rangeland conditions through a mobile phone app, to inform grazing and migration decisions.
