The Permaculture Research Institute, Kenya
The Permaculture Research Institute, Kenya (PRI-Kenya) will coordinate the permEzone pilot program over the next three years, testing and evaluating the service in at least four established permaculture training centers in East Africa.
PRI-Kenya is a Kenyan registered NGO set up in 2011 with the aim of providing an umbrella for permaculture education, projects and research in East Africa.
Their AIM is to give East African communities the tools they need to build empowered, self sufficient, climate change resilient, healthy and food-secure communities.
Their VISION is to see an Africa-led development towards a sustainable future that has the Permaculture Ethics of Care of the Earth, Care of People and Fair Distribution of Resources at its core.

PRI-Kenya's focus on promoting food sovereignty and community resilience, and empowering smallholder farmers and women's groups, is a perfect fit with the permEzone program.
They will be working in partnership with different permaculture training centers to deliver each phase of the pilot, organizations that together bring a wealth of experience of training and supporting local farmers’ groups, which will be invaluable for the early-stage testing and development of the permEzone program; a great resource for us to draw on in building the training and community-building tool-kits that will underpin the future expansion of the program.
