The organization focuses on training and mentoring journalists, providing platforms for local media and civic groups, removing barriers to free expression, and empowering societies to find their own solutions. Through its initiatives, IWPR has successfully exposed human rights violations, contributed to political and legal reforms, and improved the lives of individuals in challenging environments.
