The University of Nairobi Library held discussions with the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) on November 11, 2025, to explore opportunities for a knowledge management partnership. The engagement marked the beginning of structured discussions aimed at developing a comprehensive and mutually beneficial knowledge management system that will enhance the preservation, accessibility, and dissemination of knowledge resources across both institutions.
The University of Nairobi Library team was led by Ms. Angela Mumo, Director of the Library and Information Services, while the PASGR delegation was headed by Mr. Sam Oando, Programme Manager for Research and Policy. Both teams expressed a strong commitment to leveraging their complementary strengths to support evidence-informed research, institutional learning, and long-term knowledge sustainability.
The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) is an independent, non-partisan, pan-African not-for-profit organization established in 2011 and located in Nairobi, Kenya.
