The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is a pan-African not-for-profit organisation based in Nairobi that aims to increase the capacity of African academic institutions and researchers to contribute stronger evidence based research on public policy that can have a positive impact on pro-poor development policies in Africa. It was established in response to the declining capacity in political and social science research output in sub-Saharan Africa.

PASGR is an independent, non-partisan Pan-African not-for-profit organisation established in 2011 and located in Nairobi, Kenya. Currently engaged in more than 12 African countries, PASGR works to enhance research excellence in governance and public policy that contributes to the overall well-being of all.
PASGR’s Research Programme works with African social scientists to produce high quality governance and policy relevant research through periodic selection of research themes that have broad relevance to African development. The programme provides grants and technical support to researchers to examine development challenges and policies through a governance lens. To inform and influence policies, the programme facilitates a variety of research-policy communities (Utafiti Sera) in the countries where the studies are conducted. Reporting to the Head of Research Programme, the Programme Assistant is required to provide programmatic support to the Research Programme to ensure efficiency of operations and effective delivery of the programme’s activities.
