Areas of focus include democratic governance, business advocacy, anti-corruption, trade facilitation, women’s economic empowerment, and youth initiatives. Over CIPE’s 40-year history, these initiatives have created opportunities for citizens in almost every country in the world. Many programs have become models for others to drive economic growth and raise public awareness. CIPE is currently active in more than 80 countries, including Ukraine, the Philippines, Colombia, Sudan, Egypt, and Yemen. A wide range of donors directly support these efforts. CIPE is a core institute of the National Endowment for Democracy, a non-profit affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and leader of the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation.
