our areas of expertise

PAI Directors, staff and associates have extensive experience of programmes in public administration internationally, including in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union, Latin America and the Pacific. Several of the Directors have over twenty-five years’ experience of managing such consultancy and training projects, gained from PAI and, prior to that, from the International Division of the Royal Institute of Public Administration.
