Governance and Democracy

Since its establishment in 2008, IRIM has focused on the governance sector, and projects related to this field alone account for more than 20% of all projects. Currently, more than 70 long- and short-term governance projects have been implemented.

Climate Change and Sustainability

IRIM’s core approach to addressing the challenges posed by climate change and sustainability is to embed climate-resilient development aspects throughout all sectors of research, monitoring, and evaluation (M&E).

Monitorig and evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are systematic processes that help to determine the effectiveness of projects, programs, and policies, and are key areas of expertise with the highest capacity of IRIM. M&E projects alone account for about 35% of all those implemented by IRIM, and through them, IRIM aims to support the coherent, effective, efficient, impactful, and sustainable implementation of projects in the development sector.
