IRI is committed to equipping those in decision-making roles, locally and nationally, with ways to realize the value of the voices of their constituents.

IRI operates in and around Tripoli, Benghazi, and Sabha, and focuses on engaging youth, women, and marginalized beneficiaries in their local communities.
