The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR)

is a non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing rural development. Through community-led approaches and collaborative partnerships. IIRR generates evidence-based knowledge, fostering learning communities and promoting scalability.

Its core focus lies in five thematic programs covering education, livelihoods, environment, food security and nutrition, and health, contributing to the improvement of community lives. As an operational research and training institution, IIRR is registered in the United States of America, headquartered in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Operating across eastern Africa and Southeast Asia, IIRR maintains dedicated teams in Ethiopia, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, the Philippines, and Cambodia, emphasizing its commitment to positively impacting rural development and community well-being.

IIRR's Regional Centers are integral in supporting countries' programs as centers for excellence by focusing on the documentation, packaging, and sharing of valuable lessons.

Currently, there are two operational regional centers: the Africa Regional Center, which supports operations in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe; and the Asia Regional Center, supporting operations in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

These centers collectively contribute to the organization's commitment to knowledge-sharing and collaborative efforts, fostering excellence in program implementation.
