IFEX is making a difference worldwide
During a period when the terms ‘record-breaking’ and ‘unprecedented’ too often describe negative developments in our world, and when polarization and divisiveness are on the ascent, the IFEX network demonstrated solidarity, support, compassion, and understanding. In 2024 we countered extraordinary efforts to undermine the free expression and information rights we promote and defend, as well as attacks directed at our own abilities to do this work.
2025 – 2029 Strategic Plan
Our strategic plan guides our collective scope, priorities, and approach from 2025 through 2029, while ensuring we respond to the evolving contexts and needs of IFEX members over the period.
IFEX Collaboration Project
By developing action-oriented tools and frameworks, IFEX is helping civil society organisations strengthen collaboration, challenge power imbalances, and build the foundations for more just and inclusive collective work.
Meeting the AI moment
