Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower rural people to build resilient communities and attain socioeconomic equity through creative and community-led action.
About This Cause
We enable communities to develop innovative yet practical solutions to poverty through a community-led development approach. We widely share these lessons through publications, videos and conferences to encourage replication and scaling up. Our programs focus on 5 key themes: Food Systems, Economic Empowerment, Education, Environment, and Health. Underpinning all of our work is our commitment to equality and diversity with a particular emphasis on the role of women and girls. We have implemented people-centered, sustainable development programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, presently maintaining a strong presence in East Africa and Southeast Asia. While IIRR is registered as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in the U.S. and has its headquarters in the Philippines, many senior decision-makers are located in the field. It is important to us that staff are based in the region where they work. This allows our programs to be locally-relevant, tailored, and community-driven and keeps our overhead low.
