This is an online programme that supports capacity building in the research sector in developing and transitional countries, reinforcing local efforts to produce, disseminate and gain access to scholarly information and knowledge. PERI is one of the projects available through International Availability of Scientific Publication (INASP). These resources cover a wide range of disciplines i.e. health, management, HR, IT, finance, engineering and many more.

The PERI resources have been registered via Internet Protocol (IP) address. This means that AKU faculty, students and staff should access the resources via the IP address of AKU Tanzania. These resources are, therefore, only accessible using the computers on the institution's network.
