Welcome to PPIA.

The Post-Pandemic Societies in Inner Asia (PPIA) project is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, Kagoshima University, the University of Central Asia and the National University of Mongolia. Our research focuses on agro-pastoralist households (people living by a mixture of agriculture and livestock herding) and their response to the challenges facing them today, post-COVID-19.
