NR International is a successful and highly respected independent project management company dedicated to improving the wellbeing of the resource-poor communities in the developing world. Founded in 1996 following privatisation from the UK Government’s overseas aid programme, the company is owned by three leading academic institutions - Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Greenwich.

Our role is to add value to the projects we manage. Typically we identify priorities, ensure true participation and allocate resources to develop real solutions to real challenges. Our work is focused and developed in participation with resource-poor communities and it is making a difference. Further details of our work can be found in our brochure Behind The Scenes and also on our short corporate video.

2006 saw an important development in NR International’s history with the winning of the Research into Use Programme (RIU) funded by DFID.  The programme is managed in partnership with NIDA, Uganda, and Michael Flint and PARC, UK, and has two main aims:

• To maximise the poverty-reducing impact of the outputs of natural resources research in sub-Saharan Africa and South  Asia; and by so doing
• To significantly increase the understanding of how the promotion and widespread use of such research can contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth.

Outputs from the work undertaken during NR International’s management of five of DFID’s Renewable Natural Resources Research Programmes (completed in 2006) are still available for consultation from their respective websites (Crop Protection, Crop Post-Harvest, Forestry, Livestock Production and Post-Harvest Fisheries).
