Institute for War & Peace Reporting
The Institute for War & Peace Reporting

by strengthening local journalism in areas of conflict, training reporters,
facilitating dialogue and providing reliable information. The IWPR’s work
is distinguished by intensive on-the-job training, practical collaboration
between international and regional journalists to transfer skills and experience
for the long term. The Institute takes training out of the classroom and conference
hall and brings it into the field, assisting the professional development
of the media while addressing journalists’ and editors’ immediate, day-to-day
priorities. The IWPR’s activities are based on an integrated programme of
support through the entire journalistic process basic training; story development
and writing; editing, publication and local syndication; local debate and
evaluation. The activities are designed to contribute to public understanding
of political issues within the region as well as internationally, with an
emphasis on democratisation, human rights, conflict resolution and development.

zones. The IWPR maintains offices in Almaty, Belgrade, Bishkek, The Hague,
