In addition, regular and repeat clients of PRI include the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa and a number of non-governmental organisations and private sector entities.

PRI's projects capitalise on the broad knowledge base, experience, and judgement of its consultants; its ability to integrate multidisciplinary skills; and the firm's strategic and long-term orientation. PRI's network of global associates in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America adds the required local presence, knowledge and additional specialization as required.All senior consultants with PRI have post graduate degrees and over 15 years of working experience.
