Informations générales

IPIS seeks to be a key reference worldwide for all information related to our three core themes of research: business & human rights, the exploitation of natural resources and arms trade in Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to enhance our reputation as a necessary and independent source of information, we aim at two objectives: to expand our unique field expertise which distinguishes us from other research institutes, and to observe the highest quality standards for the output of our research. IPIS continually aims to transform its field expertise into training activities, briefings, dossiers and reports that excel in objectivity, soundness, clarity and usefulness.

As a pluralistic and impartial NGO we put our extensive network and expertise to the service of organisations and individuals of all ideological and religious persuasions, provided they are committed to peace, human rights and sustainable development. That way we provide the informational component necessary for all actions aimed at peace and development. Our sources in our countries of focus stretch from the grassroots level to the elites, which guarantees the balanced perspective that we wish to convey.
