It was a chance temporary employment opportunity that led to Anije Lambert taking the bull by the horns and using her small savings to start a company that now provides employment for many young people.
There are months when Project Development Consultancy (PDC), better known as PDC-Research, barely scrapes enough to pay its few fulltime staff members, but there are other months when they receive bonuses and the company has to hire temporary staff to fulfil its contracts.
PDC-Research describes itself as providing services to larger research organisations, academic institutions, small to medium sized companies, non-governmental and public sector institutions interested in research assistance across the Latin American nations.
