The iNkawu Vervet Project (IVP) was established in 2010 by a team of researchers from Switzerland and the UK and is a registered NPO in South Africa (NPO number: 202-031NPO). ​The aim of the project is to investigate a number of topics in the fields of behavioural ecology and cognitive evolution by using a combination of field experiments and natural observations on wild groups of vervet monkeys.  IVP is located on a private game reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and hosts a number of local and international researchers.
