Our story

Expansion: PEM East Africa was established in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Over the years, our expertise has grown to cover programme design, evaluation, technical assistance, including capacity development across our three key thematic areas: inclusive and sustainable economic development, environment and climate change, and governance, human rights and civil society.

Our Copenhagen headquarters is led by eight partners and four staff members.
