Advancing Democracy WorldwideWelcome to IRI

Around the world, dictators are working together against American interests. They are invested in America’s failure – but they will not prevail.

For more than 40 years, the International Republican Institute (IRI) has helped to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous by equipping partners with the tools they need to build successful democratic societies.

“Our mission at IRI—advancing democracy worldwide—is a battle with many fronts. I am proud to say that IRI is supportive of every endeavor that will bring freedom to more people.”
