PASGR

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.

Using Social Media for Long-haul Activism: Lessons from the Bring Back our Girls(BBOG) Movement in Nigeria

Using Social Media for Long-haul Activism: Lessons from the Bring Back our Girls(BBOG) Movement in Nigeria

The Bring Back our Girls (BBOG) is a women-led, spontaneous movement that erupted in Nigeria following the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls by Boko Haram terrorists in 2014. The BBOG remains a unique movement in contemporary Africa in that it is women-led and depends on bold confrontation offline and viral advocacy online. The objective of the BBOG is clear: to pressure the government to rescue and return all the abductees safely.
