Africa

IREX works in 49 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. We partner with African civil society, journalists, media outlets, libraries, teachers, youth, and community leaders, among others. We implement comprehensive programs that integrate a focus on people, institutions, and communities and an understanding of how they interact to advance prosperity and social justice.
