Staff
IWPR employs a range of staff to support our activities, with skills in programme, finance, development, journalism and editorial, new media and other functions essential to our success.
Small central teams in London and Washington, D.C., support the large majority of our personnel who are national hires based in our countries of programme operation.
Offices
Disinformation is a major global threat , especially in conflict and post-conflict areas. IWPR performs a vital mission, building up local voices as a bulwark against this challenge.
Democratic accountability comes from journalists investigating their own societies – IWPR provides a much needed platform and support for those reporting from some of the most dangerous and difficult places in the world.
IWPR fills a critical gap by helping local journalists to focus on human rights and justice issues. In the process, it contributes to democratic transitions, and demonstrates that the best war reporting is not about military conflict, but human consequences.
