DARE-RC Education Research Programme: Driving Education Impact and Policy Change Through Effective Strategic Communications
Client: Oxford Policy Management
Overview
In 2025, Sparkom partnered with Oxford Policy Management to revamp communications for the DARE-RC education research programme, one of the largest education research initiatives in Pakistan. The programme engages global experts, policymakers, and educators to generate evidence-based insights aimed at improving education outcomes.
With millions of children out of school in key districts, the programme’s objective was to ensure research findings, policy briefs, and IEC content reached the right audiences—from local stakeholders to global education policymakers. Sparkom visualized 30+ research studies into visually engaging infographics, thematic maps, and location-wise representations, making complex data accessible, actionable, and shareable.
The initiative also included a complete website revamp designed to host interactive research outputs, improve accessibility, and serve as a central hub for knowledge dissemination.
