Program areas at IREX
Leadership - today's challenges call for leaders who can create transformative change across communities, governments, organizations, and businesses. Our approach to developing leaders prepares leaders to engage and inspire others, advocate thoughtfully, take action, and continue to learn in order to make positive social change. We identify these leaders, develop their capabilities, provide opportunities, and build their networks to increase their impact.
Communities & governance - we strengthen civil society organizations (cso) to elevate citizen voices while increasing accountability and effectiveness of public institutions. Our approach focuses on supporting partners to deliver tangible benefits to the people they serve. Since 1994, we have supported civil society leaders and strengthened csos throughout eurasia, the middle east, africa, asia, and latin america. Irex contributes to good governments in way that enable them to become more effective, accountable, and responsive to the people they serve. Irex partners with institutions and civil society to promote constructive civic engagement.
Information & media - irex promotes vibrant information and media systems so people can make informed decisions, hold those in power accountable, and take actions to improve their lives. We work with information consumers and producers to ensure that people can engage with high-quality content through multiple channels and freely act upon information that affects them. We also produce the media sustainability index, which provides in-depth analyses of the health of the media sector in 21 countries in eurasia.
