Grants to this Grantee
for strategic planning and HR planning
The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is an independent, nonpartisan pan-African not-for-profit organization. Currently engaged in more than 25 African countries, PASGR’s mission is to advance research excellence for governance and public policy in Africa. In particular, Hewlett's Evidence-Informed Policymaking sub-strategy has been a long-term supporter of PASGR’s Utafiti Sera program, which creates and supports research-to-policy communities to promote and support evidence-informed policy decision making. These Utafiti Sera communities bring together scholars, government officials, and civil society leaders working in specific sectors across Africa to collaboratively prioritize policy questions, identify and fill research gaps to respond to these questions, and draw on research findings to inform policymaking. Coming at a period of leadership transition and change at PASGR, this organizational effectiveness grant will support the development of PASGR's 2024-28 strategic plan, and strengthen change management and human resource systems therein.
for monitoring, evaluation of, and learning about the accountability for water program
The Partnership for Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is a Pan-African non-profit organization advancing research excellence for governance and public policy in Africa. With its Accountability for Water (AFW) Program Grant coming to an end, this organizational effectiveness grant will allow PASGR to engage a monitoring, evaluation and learning partner to conduct an end line evaluation that assess its effectiveness, relevance, and sustainability.
for research and outreach on water sector accountability to improve governance and service delivery
The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is an independent, pan-African nonprofit organization that works to build a vibrant social sciences community and enhance excellence and use of public policy research in Africa. Through this grant, PASGR will further generate and provide African policy actors with quality social science research that addresses accountability for water as a governance issue. PASGR will continue to create a safe space for stakeholders in the sector to engage and jointly find solutions to accountability challenges in four countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia.
