Promoting and defending freedom of expression as a fundamental human right

IFEX is a nexus for free expression expertise contributed by over 100 member organisations, spanning 70 countries, and committed to collaboration and transformative advocacy.

IFEX is making a difference worldwide

2024 Annual Report

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

Artificial intelligence is disrupting journalism, boosting efficiency and data analysis while also exacerbating threats and disinformation. The IFEX network is ready for the challenge.
