Abstract:

PENHA's consulting services based in Asmara offer good prospects for a number of reasons.

The concerns of PENHA with development, environment and pastoralists are very topical for the whole of the region. PENHA has a large number of high calibre specialists in a number of fields whom it can call upon to carry out work. The importance of involving researchers who have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the area with international experts cannot be under estimated. Using locally based people is, in addition, a way of reducing costs.

PENHA intends to specialise in:

(a) Capacity building on local, national and regional levels.
(b) Development management and improvement of natural resources.
(c) Promoting human welfare and gender issues.
