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.

National Forum on Youth Employment Creation in Agriculture and Agro-processing for Inclusive Growth in Kenya
Several development initiatives and policy frameworks have been started to address unemployment, specifically for the youth. Despite these efforts, unemployment remains higher among young people, making it imperative to provide evidence on the needed policy responses. In this context, the Centre for African Bio-Entrepreneurship (CABE) in collaboration with Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is facilitating a research-policy engagement forum: Utafiti-Sera on “Youth Employment Creation in Agriculture and Agro-Processing in Kenya”. Through the platform, policy actors have an opportunity to address youth employment challenges using evidence thus ensuring that appropriate policy actions are enacted.
