| Profile: |
The Natural
Resources Institute (NRI) was established in 1894, and became
part of the University of Greenwich in 1996. It is an internationally
recognised multidisciplinary centre for research, training and
consultancy concerning the management of natural and human capital
to support sustainable development world-wide. The majority
of its work is done for and in developing countries, but much
of its expertise has proved to be of growing relevance to the
industrialised nations of the North. |
| Approach: |
Partnerships
are integral to NRI's operation, encompassing the full range
of stakeholders in international development from donors to
community based organisations. Research falls into the broad
areas of agriculture, food, the environment and natural resources
management, underpinned by a strong socio-economic capability. |
| Finance: |
Research funding currently runs at over £7 million per year, and comes from
a wide range of sources, including major development donors
such as DFID, the EU, World Bank, UN organisations and the CFC,
international charities, UK and other government sources and
the UK Research Councils. |
| Notes: |
See the
web site for more details.
NB NRI was restructure in the second half of 20001 following
a financial crisis. Over 100 professional staff (more than
1/3rd) have been made redundant. |
