Policy Innovation & Conferences

We work with governments to develop and highlight their regional comparative advantages, and improve messaging around complex topics like post-conflict reconstruction, reconciliation, climate change, and legal and economic reform. We deploy our experts to help design policy-intensive conferences with specific goals. Perim organized the successful first 2015 East Africa Environmental Risk & Opportunity “ERO” Summit, and sourced speakers and content for conferences in the U.A.E.

Publications

Perim Associates has partnered with Dubai-based InvestIn Group to produce conference proceedings, professional magazines and monographs. Our flagship publication is the Africa Frontier Review.

Innovative Healthcare Solutions

We are an incubator for healthcare solutions with direct impact and applicability to developing and post-conflict environments. One of these programs is the MEADRS, Middle East-Africa Diabetic Retinopathy System, a telemedicine partnership with EyePACS and U.C. Berkeley Department of Optometry that screens for sight-threatening degeneration of the retina. Perim has trained clinicians in Turkey, Libya and Djibouti to use this system.
