IREX is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the
advancement of knowledge. Central to its mission is the empowering
of individuals and institutions to participate meaningfully in civil
society. IREX administers programs between the United States and
the countries of Eastern Europe, the New Independent
States, Asia, and the Near East.

IREX can look to many successes
in 2000. For instance, we provided
over 350 academic and research fellow-
ships, trained over 6,000 individuals in
Internet and computer use, and made
190 institutional subgrants, including
several to independent Serbian and
Kosovar media. We are also proud of
continuing to streamline our administra-
tive expenses, making IREX a more pro-
fessional and competitive organization.
Past accomplishments alone, how-
ever, are not sufficient. We need to look
ahead and continue to improve. To
enhance our leadership role, we are
engaged in strategic planning and
developing innovative programming
that draws on IREX’s extensive aca-
demic resources and experience in
running exchanges, training programs,
and technical assistance efforts. Let
me cite two examples.
IREX has been
in the vanguard of
redefining traditional area studies
models. Recently we introduced a bold
new program—the Black and Caspian
Sea Collaborative Research
Program—that examines the political,
economic, and cultural interactions
among the littoral states. At its core, this
is an academic program, providing
grants for joint regional research by
American and international scholars.
But it also extends the impact of the
research by directly addressing policy
matters, business development, and
social issues.
Just as regional distinctions are
changing, so too are the lines between
program areas. For example, the divide
between media and the Internet or the
Internet and academia is becoming
less pronounced. To explore this new
phenomenon, IREX is organizing a
conference entitled, “Russia in the
Information Age: Balancing Regulation
and Freedom,” that will analyze the dig-
ital divide, Russian law and the Internet,
and the impact of the Internet on
research, media, and business. The
conference will be followed by an
interactive on-line Center for Internet
and Governance.
IREX administers many different
programs, ranging from policy forums
to independent media and NGO devel-
opment. Our goal for the coming year
is to continue integrating our tradition-
al focus on academic work and research
with our programs that build civil
society, making sure all programming is
mutually reinforcing. This is a big
challenge, and we’re ready to meet it.

Academic and research programs are
at The development of a civil society
relies upon the knowledge and skills of
its citizens and institutions. For over
thirty years IREX programs have
advanced the education and expertise of
thousands of students, scholars, and pro-
fessionals in over 30 countries. Through
exchange programs, research grants,
conferences, and alumni support servic-
es, IREX cultivates informed societies
and cultural understanding between and
among the United States, Eastern
Europe, the New Independent States,
the Near East, and Asia.
In 2000 IREX: � Awarded individual fellowships to
110 US and 250 international students,
scholars, and professionals for study,
research, and collaborative projects; � Organized nearly 250 alumni
events attended by over 7,000 scholars,
students, policymakers, and business
and NGO leaders; and� Provided information on US study
opportunities to over 100,000 students
seeking to pursue an education in the
United States.
PUTTING KNOWLEDGE TO WORK
Svetlana Pouchkareva has invigorat-
ed a small foundation in her hometown
of Togliatti, Russia by developing and
implementing new fundraising strate-
gies, recruiting volunteers, and giving
training sessions on community devel-
opment to other local NGOs. She
developed the skills for this position in
Oxford, Ohio while participating in the
Russian-US Young Leadership
Fellows for Public Service Program
(YLF), where she assisted a local foun-
dation in its fundraising efforts and
established a Russian club as a language
and cultural resource for college stu-
dents and the community.
HELPING ALUMNI MAKE AN IMPACT AT HOME
Citizens of Georgia came a step
closer to overcoming the country’s seri-
ous hepatitis problem when 2,000
copies of the booklet Hepatitis C: The
Hidden Epidemic were distributed free of
charge to public health workers and
blood banks across the nation. The
booklet, which details disease preven-
tion, diagnosis, and treatment, was pub-
lished through an ECA Alumni Small
Grant awarded to Georgia native
Ketevan Stvilia.

HELPING CORPORATIONS STAY ON TOP
Over 50 Romanian and internation-
al companies and 170 Romanian young
professionals gathered in Bucharest to
participate in the first Return to
Romania Career Development Project
(RTR) Job Fair. The fair presented a
unique opportunity for employers and
job seekers to meet face to face and
match corporate strategies with indi-
vidual career plans. As a direct result of
the conference, over a dozen RTR par-
ticipants secured employment.
SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE RESEARCH
Graduate student Mark Zimny
spent his nine-month Individual
Advanced Research Opportunities
(IARO) scholarship in Warsaw study-
ing the social consequences of post-
communist democratization in Poland,
Russia, and Lithuania. Specifically, he
examined the development and preva-
lence of severe alcoholism within
groups of youth and adults and the
resultant effects on mortality rates and
social problems, such as increases in
violent crime. Although these issues
have been studied in other contexts,
Zimny’s work was innovative in how it
considered the extent that these prob-
lems are sociological effects of transi-
tioning nations.
DEVELOPING NEW AREA STUDIES
In the last decade, the area of the
Black and Caspian Seas has developed
as a crucial geopolitical region. To
address this issue, IREX hosted the
“Regional Dynamics of the Black and
Caspian Sea Basins” conference in
Odesa, Ukraine. Approximately 60
participants from Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova,
Romania, Russia, Turkey, Turkmenistan,
Ukraine, and the United States con-
vened to discuss the current body of
knowledge on this area and the increas-
ing trend toward regional integration.
The conference also launched a series of
IREX initiatives—including the
Collaborative Grants Program—to
bring scholars together to research in
more depth issues affecting the region.

P i o n e e r i n g i n t e r n e t a c c e s s
Providing open access to informa-
tion is central to IREX’s mission.
Through its innovative Internet and
computer training programs, IREX
empowers academics, professionals, and
other NIS citizens to use the opportuni-
ties of the Internet to transform their
societies. IREX works to bridge the dig-
ital divide between east and west
through its management of more than
50 public access sites, part of the ECA-
funded Internet Access and Training
Program (IATP), and through its spe-
cialized grant programs. In 2000 alone
IREX provided e-mail accounts and
Internet access to 6,000 individuals per
month; trained more than 6,200 people
to use computers; and hosted more than
460 web sites and 30 mailing lists.
CREATING ACCESS TO INFORMATION
IREX opened its groundbreaking
IATP site in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, pro-
viding the only free access to the
Internet in the entire country. The site
has been essential to scholars like
Fulbright alumnus Kamoludin
Abdullaev who used the site’s resources
to exchange research with Tajik experts
worldwide and complete the book
Politics of Compromise: The Tajikistan
Peace Process.
PROVIDING SPECIALIZED TRAINING
The conclusion of the Internet
Training for Journalists program
(ITJ) in Bosnia and Herzegovina yield-
ed impressive results following two years
of hard work. IREX conducted 33
training seminars, instructing 118 jour-
nalists how to conduct on-line
research to access more accu-
rate and more timely infor-
mation. Support for
journalists in the region also
included donations and instal-
lations of computer and satel-
lite equipment at selected
media outlets and the devel-
opment and launching of an
ITJ web site for journalists.
IREX continues to provide
support for journalists in the region
through its ProMedia programs.
OPENING DOORS
In 2000, IREX opened three new
IATP sites in Belarus, creating a total net-
work of five sites spread across the coun-
try with hundreds of e-mail users, newly
created web sites, and a broad computer
training portfolio. In politically repressive
countries such as Belarus, IREX Internet
programs represent an unrestricted win-
dow to Western media and democratic
thinking via the World Wide Web.

Independent media are essential to
citizen decision-makers in democratic
societies. IREX has been supporting
independent print and broadcast media
in new democracies of Central, Eastern,
and Southern Europe for over six years
by producing change in four areas: busi-
ness performance, media law, profession-
al standards, and institutional support.
Currently managing Professional Media
II (ProMedia) in ten countries, IREX’s
media programs combine many of
IREX’s traditional strengths—profes-
sional training, institution building,
exchange of experience and knowl-
edge—and focus them on this single,
critically important sector.
BUILDING MEDIA RESOURCES
In Kosovo, IREX’s USAID-funded
ProMedia program led the internation-
al effort that built the Kosovo
Terrestrial Transmission Network
(KTTN), making independent radio
and television available to the majority
of the province’s 1.8 million inhabi-
tants. Having met the technical
challenges of building this multi-tower
system on hilly terrain in a brief
amount of time, IREX’s next task is to
assist the transfer of administration to
an independent Kosovar nongovern-
mental organization.
PROMOTING NEW SOURCES OF INDEPENDENT NEWS
IREX worked through all stages of
design, launch, and expansion of the
independent Croatian Commercial
Network (CCN), which has now com-
pleted its first year of broadcasting. In
this short time it has developed a solid
reputation for objective, informative
news reporting.
PROTECTING JOURNALISTS
Through the Legal Defense and
Education Program (LDEP) in Ukraine,
IREX has had real impact on the ability
of public officials to use defamation
actions to silence journalists. LDEP has
educated Ukraine’s supreme and lower
court justices on their own “public fig-
ure doctrine” and free-speech rights,
resulting in more victories for media in
libel and defamation cases.
ADVOCATING MEDIA LEGISLATION
With IREX’s guidance, Bulgarian
media NGOs and free speech advocates
were able to get the Access to Public
Information Law passed in the country’s
parliament. With the threat of
incarceration for libel charges gone,
the Bulgarian media are able to print
and broadcast more balanced and
honest news.
As a result of IREX’s
assistance through the
ProMedia program,
Belarusian journalists
are better able to
cover national and
international events.
IREX capacity-building and training
programs empower individuals and
organizations to promote democratiza-
tion and economic growth, the building
blocks of a strong civil society. IREX
manages targeted grants to support com-
munity-based organizations that respond
to local needs and deliver practical servic-
es. Sectors and organizations receiving
direct support from IREX include
women's crisis centers that fight domestic
violence, environmental and human
rights organizations, and associations for
the disabled, homeless, and children.
ATTAINING PRACTICAL RESULTS
There is an urgent need to raise pub-
lic awareness of domestic violence in the
Russian Federation and to provide servic-
es such as psychological and legal coun-
seling to victims. IREX addresses this
need through the USAID-funded
Program to Support Crisis Centers
for Women in Russia (WCC), provid-
ing training and small grants to more
than 40 grassroots women’s crisis centers.
The Voronezh Social Movement and
Crisis Center, for example, used a grant
to establish a hotline that has assisted
1,640 individuals in its first six months.
Outreach efforts by the center have fur-
ther resulted in the local government’s
decision to set aside part of a new local
homeless shelter for battered women and
their children seeking refuge.
CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE
The quality of life for city residents
in Nizhnii Tagil, Russia has been
improving since Clean Home of Nizhnii
Tagil and The Institute for Sustainable
Communities of Montpelier, VT began
working together through the USAID-
funded Sustaining Partnerships into
the Next Century (SPAN) program.
Together they are working to create a
path of undeveloped, protected land,
known as the Greenway, that provides a
natural environment where people can
get away from the smog and pollution of
this heavily industrialized city.
SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORKS
IREX has begun to support a
network of more than 6,000 nongovern-
mental organizations (NGOs) through
the Promoting and Strengthening
Russian NGO Development Program
(Pro-NGO), awarded by USAID in
2000. Over the course of the three-year
program, IREX will provide core fund-
ing to approximately 22 NGO resource
centers in 19 regions of Russia focusing
on social welfare, political advocacy,
youth, and health care.

over 1,000 trees and shrubs
and 8,000 flowers.

C r e a t i n g m u t u a l l y r e i n f o r c i n g p r o g r a m s
IREX’s broad programming efforts
reinforce each other in their joint objec-
tive to build democracy and provide
access to information. The capacity of
one program often strengthens the abil-
ities of another. Supporting independent
media organizations is more effective
when access to and knowledge of the
Internet is available; fellows and scholars
who return to their home countries
from exchange programs are often aided
in their professional efforts by NGO
strengthening projects; and other mutu-
ally overlapping efforts. Below are some
examples where IREX successes crossed
from one traditional range of program-
ming to another, proving that diverse
programming can be mutually reinforc-
ing, and that individual programs can
have far-reaching effects.
In Kosovo, IREX’s ProMedia proj-
ect helped found KosovaLive, an inde-
pendent news agency that provides a
new kind of domestic information serv-
ice to Kosovar citizens and the interna-
tional community. Providing real-time
news and information completely
on-line, KosovaLive has taken advan-
tage of the enormous benefits offered by
modern technology.

Rostov Resource Center, which is part
of IREX’s Pro-NGO network. Shamin’s
work at the center, complemented by his
participation in multiple regional NGO
conferences, aids him in his efforts to
develop methods for strengthening
NGOs in southern Russia.
Mahbuba Ergasheva has made note-
worthy contributions towards women's
issues in her native Uzbekistan by
founding and managing the NGO
Center for Women Leaders, developing
a web site that addresses the challenges
facing women in Uzbekistan, and repre-
senting her country at international con-
ferences on gender issues. Her
experience in the United States as a
Contemporary Issues fellow and her fre-
quent use of the IREX Internet public
access sites in Tashkent have strength-
ened her organization and significantly
aided her efforts to raise awareness
of this topic.

Fiscal year 2000 was an exceptional
year for IREX, marked by several signifi-
cant accomplishments including an
increase in revenue from the previous year
of 76% and an increase in net assets of
12%. During this period of unprecedent-
ed growth IREX was also able to reduce
its administrative expenses by 28%.
As shown by the chart on this page,
IREX’s revenue has grown from $5.5
million in 1991 to $32 million in 2000.
The challenge that IREX faces over the
next several years is to maintain revenue
at a consistent level while at the same
time keeping our administrative cost to a
level which will allow us to provide sup-
port to all of our program divisions
while remaining competitive.

and Changes in Net Assets have been
