Strategies and Analysis for Growth and Access

 

Strategies and Analysis for Growth and Access

PASSN has partnered with SAGA to increase communication between policy makers and researchers.   

SAGA (Strategies and Analysis for Growth and Access), a project of Cornell and Clark-Atlanta Universities, is a cooperative agreement supported by USAID, specifically the Africa Bureau’s Office of Sustainable Development (AFR/SD) and the EGAT Offices of Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction (EGAT/EG and EGAT/PR). SAGA brings together key personnel having extensive experience in Africa as researchers, teachers, policymakers, and consultants, to offer a different perspective on growth and poverty reduction.  SAGA conducts research and offers technical assistance on a variety of topics, including education and human capital, health and nutrition, risk and vulnerability, and empowerment and institutions.
