The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) is a rural development organization with 80 years experience, working in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

We promote people-centered development through capacity building for poor people and their communities, development organizations and agencies.

• Through participatory approaches, IIRR builds capacities of communities and their organizations, encourages people-centered practices among other development organizations, and strengthens linkages between communities and their partners.
• We share our experiences, from working with the communities, with development practitioners through training programs and publications.
• We facilitate the sharing of field-tested knowledge from development organizations, which is useful in the fight against poverty.
• Our main outputs are training courses and publications on development issues, and learning from the work with communities.
