IWPR gives voice to people at the frontlines of conflict and transition to help them drive change

IWPR supports local reporters, citizen journalists and civil society activists in three dozen countries in conflict, crisis and transition around the world. We contribute to peace and good governance by strengthening the ability of media and civil society to speak out. We do this by training, mentoring and providing platforms for professional and citizen reporters; building up the institutional capacity of media and civic groups; and working with independent and official partners to remove barriers to free expression, robust public debate and citizen engagement.

Promoting Free Expression: IWPR builds the skills of professional and citizen journalists working in traditional media and in social and new media.
Strengthening Accountability: IWPR supports the capacity of civil society and human rights groups to more effectively advocate for government and institutional accountability.
Building Inclusive Societies: IWPR supports peace and reconciliation in conflict zones around the world.
