“Pr-i: policy-research interface” wants to be a space where research and policy making can interact as peers, in their commitment to improve lives through evidence-based decision making.

There is so much these two worlds can do for each other. Through its services, pr-i wants to be an ambassador between the two, providing the skills and knowledge for their interaction.
