African Social Research Lab

We work to better understand the social complexity of territorial management and their natural resources (renewable and non-renewable). AFSRL research studies focus on analyzing the dynamics of social institutions and practices generated by territorial planning and natural resource access management.

AFSRL has a specific anchor-point on the African continent, allowing knowledge production (in terms Trafficking, Migration, Health and State and Human Security issues like extremism and terrorism,. But the association is also interested and open to scientific collaboration with other continents, particularly in Africa.

AFSRL brings insight and knowledge on methods developed to support public and private territorial development regarding social management, ranging from pre-feasibility study to impact assessment.

AFSRL promotes the development of partnerships in research through the implementation of joint activities with national and international research institutions.

This collaboration also includes knowledge and capacity sharing by giving classes and conferences in universities, co-writing articles or supervising students, among others. This scientific partnership relies particularly on Ghana collaboration, based not only on African countries but also on other regions such as the Middle East.
