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.
