IWPR maintains a diverse international base
of private foundations, individuals and government agencies to
avoid dependence on any single source. We are especially grateful
to those donors who support us through multi-year assistance to
strengthen existing activities and very much welcome new donors
interested in working with us.
“You are being trained by people
who have firsthand experience of the situation they deal with.
It is easy to grasp when trained by such people because they
make you visualise the event or situation. Such trainings
bring the world together.
” Ephraim Khumalo Political editor,
South Africa
“Active, ethical and well balanced
media is often the key tool to ensure that conflicts do not
escalate, reconciliation is possible and active citizenship
exercised. IWPR is doing an important job in disseminating
information from conflict zones and in training and empowering
local journalists.
” Martti Ahtisaari Former President
of Finland & Chairman
of Crisis Management Initiative
“The day I first went to an IWPR
training session was quite literally the most important day
in my life. It opened up a whole new world for me. Here in
Kyrgyzstan, the journalists write anything they like – but
IWPR teaches the values, standards and practice of real journalism.
Top journalists from around the world increasingly visit our
universities for quick seminars and workshops – but only IWPR
gives me the ongoing support and practice I need.
