The Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) is a Washington, DC-based organization that gives voice to individuals on the frontlines of conflict and transition, empowering them to drive change in countries experiencing crisis and conflict. With a focus on countries where hate speech and propaganda are prevalent and journalists and civic activists are under attack, IWPR promotes reliable information and public debate to make a meaningful impact. Through strengthening the flow of credible and unbiased information, IWPR enables journalists and civil society to inform, educate, and mobilize communities, ultimately empowering societies to find their own solutions and advocate for accountability, freedom of expression, and human rights.
With over 30 years of experience, IWPR has built extensive local networks and expert program teams, uniquely positioning them to mobilize the power of information to create more stable, just, and inclusive societies. Their work has led to the exposure of rights violations, the establishment of local media outlets, and international impact, including the recognition of Nobel Peace Prize winners. Through their investigations, IWPR has exposed violations and directly contributed to political and legal reform, resulting in tangible improvements to people's lives. By amplifying local voices, IWPR aims to build peace, improve governance, and advance human rights.
