Overview
The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) supports the production and dissemination of policy-relevant research; designs and delivers professional development courses for researchers and policy actors; and facilitates a collaborative higher education program across African countries. As a growing organization, PASGR is embarking on a number of necessary internal efforts to bolster the soundness of the organization itself. With this organizational effectiveness grant, PASGR will invest in the overhaul of two of its internal systems: (1) the upgrade, development and implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and (2) the upgrading of its IT systems, processes and policies. This will further strengthen PASGR’s organizational resilience – made even more salient by the pandemic showing the criticality of having solid IT infrastructure in an increasingly virtual world.

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.
