'NRI's Development Programmes address significant developmental challenges and opportunities arising from global trends, emergent policy issues, capacity limitations and problems in the sectors and countries in which we work. We aim to contribute to enhanced livelihoods and poverty reduction in some of the world's poorest countries. We apply our knowledge and experience to bring about improvements in food security and nutrition, sustainable agricultural productivity and natural resource management, market access and income generation. We assist local organisations in strategy and skills development and use the results of our work to inform policy processes and debates. The programmes draw on the interdisciplinary strengths of NRI working in collaboration with a broad range of partners. For more information about our portfolio of development programmes please contact Adrienne Martin (a.m.martin@gre.ac.uk) or the leader of the specific programme in which you are interested.'
