Strategic Purchasing Africa Resource Centre (SPARC) is an initiative dedicated to enhancing strategic purchasing expertise in sub-Saharan Africa and advancing countries towards achieving universal health coverage. They offer a comprehensive range of products and services to support this mission. SPARC provides curated resources, including policy briefs, research papers, and publications, covering various topics related to health systems, governance, and accountability.

They also facilitate policy dialogues, webinars, and events to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration among stakeholders. Under their Strategic Purchasing for Primary Health Care (SP4PHC) project, SPARC conducted a review of facility financing arrangements in Kenya's 47 counties. This undertaking resulted in valuable insights and reflections on potential implications for service readiness.
