other countries where RTI has worked
According to ''Defense Daily International'' (March 18, 2005), RTI has employed [[TOR International]], "a private security firm based in the United Kingdom and with offices in Arlington," Virginia, to provide security for RTI staff working in conflict areas.
In addition to the countries listed below, RTI has also worked in Mali, the Philippines, Venezuela, Tunisia and the Ivory Coast (''The Washington Post'', April 12, 2003, and ''Triangle Business Journal'', Raleigh NC, May 3, 1996).
===Iraq===
:Indonesia has held successive elections for national office with virtually no violence. This year, for the first time in its history, all Indonesian local officials, executive and legislative, will have been legitimately elected. These programs in Indonesia, many conducted by RTI International, have focused on shifting authority from central to provincial and municipal governments. Currently critical work is underway by RTI and other partners to strengthen local government in Aceh Province to enable it to cope with the overwhelming governmental responsibilities in the wake of the tsunami.
According to a ''Washington Post'' story, USAID felt that RTI's experience in Indonesia made the company a good choice for post-war Iraq contracts. USAID senior project officer Chris Milligan said, "In Indonesia, RTI in one year helped facilitate over 100,000 meetings between communities and their newly elected officials in one province. So I have seen their expertise in exactly this environment. Indonesia was coming out of three decades under an authoritarian regime very similar in some ways to Iraq" (''Washington Post'', April 18, 2003).
===Pakistan===
===El Salvador===
RTI conducted an environmental-impact study for "a sanitary landfill in El Izcatal district" slated "to receive the waste of 19 municipalities located in the country's central area," reported ''Business News Americas'' (July 20, 2005).
According to the ''Washington Post'', RTI was working to "build local governments from the ground up" in El Salvador, "while its civil war was still underway" (April 18, 2003).
