We work with elected leaders, political advisors, public servants, development agencies (intergovernmental organisations, multilateral and bilateral aid donors, international NGOs, regional forums and networks), academia (universities, colleges and technical experts) and civil society (community based organisations, NGOs, churches and the media).

PiPP offers a unique bridge between partners. We bring together the right people with the latest thinking and information. By tapping into existing national and regional networks, we avoid duplication and strengthen the influence of stakeholders in development policy.

Our impartiality allows us to mediate policy debates, prevent or ameliorate misunderstanding and most importantly stimulate action to deliver practical outcomes.

As we grow, we hope that so too does the opportunity for people to share ideas and experiences because it is through such sharing that creative solutions to problems are found. Creative solutions that are steeped in cultural and political relevance. Creative ideas that respond not just to problems, but also that seek to steer policy in new directions based on visionary thought and empirical evidence.

We are indebted to the people and organisations that continue to support us. In particular, we are grateful to our core funding and commissioned research partners that include: Australian Government, Government of the Cook Islands, Government of the Federated States of Micronesia, Government of New Zealand, Government of Samoa, Government of Vanuatu, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNIFEM, the Australian Political Parties for Democracy Program and the Asian Development Bank.

In addition to funding we have been most fortunate to have received in-kind support and work closely with a number of international organisations including:

Overseas Development Institute

Caribbean Policy Research Institute

Lowy Institute

University of the South Pacific.

We would especially like to recognise the support of the Government of Vanuatu, allowing us to locate our headquarters here against the prevailing thought that regional offices can only be located in Suva.
