PEP SPECIAL INITIATIVES

Since 2002, PEP has mostly devoted its support activities to build the capacity of developing country researchers to conduct high quality research according to their  own, self-determined agenda - in terms of research issues and priorities - under either one of the four PEP research programs (CBMS, MPIA, PIERI, PMMA) to foster the development and application of a variety of cutting-edge methodologies and analytical perspectives in these countries.

Over the past few years however, PEP has become increasingly active in going beyond its core capacity building activities to support and promote the mobilization of these local researchers and experts in key national and international research initiatives. These special, often large-scale projects – usually focused on emerging development and/or policy issues – are conducted either through joint research initiatives, in collaboration with specific donors and/or as commissioned studies deputed by international institutions calling on PEP’s extensive experience to provide scientific support and coordinate activities.

PEP's several partners and collaborators now include:

AusAID, CIDA, DFID (or UK Aid), Gates Foundation, IADB, IDRC, IFPRI, ILO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNICEF, UN Women, etc..
