INR - Institute of Natural Resources

The INR is an applied research organisation. We are the preferred knowledge provider, strategic and operational supporter, capacity developer, and advocate for the natural resource and environmental management sectors in southern Africa.

In partnership with government, civil society, the private sector and other leading research organisations we develop cutting edge solutions to and support the resolution of natural resource challenges; we provide advice to practitioners, researchers and policy makers; we integrate effort; we build the capacity of graduate professionals to operate effectively in the workplace; and we advocate an environmentally secure future for all. We are an independent, non-profit, public benefit organisation committed to serving the people of southern Africa.

Organisationally our work is arranged into a series of interlinked thematic areas:

• Adaptation and Resilience
• Ecosystems
• Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods
• Environmental Governance and Sustainability
