Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR)

The Institute for War & Peace Reporting (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. They contribute to peace and good governance by strengthening the ability of media and civil society to speak out. They 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. They are a globally distributed team.
