SAGA

SAGA brought together key personnel having extensive experience in Africa as researchers, teachers, policymakers, and consultants, to offer a different perspective on growth and poverty reduction.

We focused on the capabilities of individuals, households, and communities—their productivities, their vulnerabilities, their institutions, and their environment.

Our aim was to understand further the economic, social, institutional, and natural constraints that keep Africa’s poor from prospering in the context of growth-oriented reforms.

You can learn more about our research program, read our publications, and find out about our technical assistance program, our conferences, and competitive grants program at this site.
