This case study focuses on Bonyan, a local NGO based in Syria, and how they adapted the MERS to help with market-based program interventions.
In early 2018, the SEEP Network partnered with the Cash-Based Response Working Group based in Gaziantep, Turkey to access organizations working with market-based programs in the region to build awareness and catalyze uptake of the MERS.
The knowledge dissemination model is as follows:1. A Working Group or Cluster receives new information on the MERS; 2. Early Adopters pursue institutionalization of the MERS within their organization; 3. Early Adopters share knowledge of the MERS through local implementing partners or peer-to-peer networks to improve program quality and ability to apply the MERS in the field; and 4. Early Adopters use the MERS to influence donors on program quality leading to the integration of the MERS within future proposals thus indirectly influencing other NGOs.
