While Plunkett core objectives focus on a niche area of rural development, all our activities have the ultimate aim of improving the livelihoods of rural communities. We therefore also offer comprehensive rural development services through our subsidiary company, Rural Partnerships.

Rural Partnerships is a rural development agency, which provides project development and management services to public and private sector clients in the UK and internationally.

Rural Partnerships offers a unique blend of strengths and organisational competencies. Rural Partnerships uses state-of-the-art project management systems to offer efficient, high quality services to international donor agencies and public and private sector clients worldwide, utilising a large resource of proven rural development consultants working to defined management procedures.

Rural Partnerships' current activities focus on two markets. Internationally, the Company manages integrated rural development projects on behalf of international donors. In the UK, policy development and project management services are offered to national government ministries and the recently established Regional Development Agencies.
