IRIN Services and Projects:

IRIN Text Services

The core text and in-depth services produce daily, weekly and special reports on subjects of interest to the humanitarian community, with a focus on crises and emergencies. Articles are provided free of charge via the web and e-mail. IRIN covers sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, targeting the information needs of the humanitarian community, affected populations and media.

PlusNews

IRIN's HIV/AIDS news and analysis service is distributed in English, French and Portuguese. The service provides news and analysis, features, country briefs and treatment maps concerning the syndrome as it affects people in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

IRIN Radio

IRIN Radio is active in Afghanistan and Somalia. The service produces humanitarian news and feature programmes that reach millions of people, and works with local radio stations to help improve their programming. The main focus is on the production of quality radio content in local languages.

IRIN Film/TV

IRIN's award-winning film unit highlights the plight of vulnerable people trapped in forgotten emergencies. Short documentaries and features are distributed to broadcasters, advocacy groups and humanitarian actors. Recent IRIN documentaries have explored the human cost of climate change in Africa and Asia, told the stories of people forced to flee their homes in the Congo and the Philippines, and provided an insight into the lives of young Ugandans growing up with HIV/AIDS.

IRIN Photo

The IRIN Photo unit maintains a public gallery of photographs relevant to humanitarian actors and international media. Print-quality photos can be downloaded and cover the world's most pressing humanitarian crises.
