ibonorg

ibonorg is the online platform associated with the IBON network, a non-governmental organization focused on development policy and social justice. The site serves as the public-facing hub for IBON’s research, news, and advocacy materials.

Overview: The IBON network conducts economic and socio-policy analysis, monitoring poverty, inequality, and governance issues in the Philippines and internationally. The ibon.org site publishes reports, briefs, newsletters, and multimedia content produced by IBON staff and partner organizations.

Content and activities: In addition to research papers, the site features news articles, data-driven analysis, educational resources, and calls to action. It supports campaigns and training programs aimed at policymakers, civil society groups, educators, and activists.

Organization and funding: IBON operates through a network of offices and collaborators with a central coordinating body. Its funding comes from a mix of donations, grants, and project-based support from philanthropic and development-focused organizations; it emphasizes editorial independence in its research and reporting.

Reception and impact: IBON’s work contributes to public debate on development policy and is supported by researchers and civil-society actors while facing critique from other policymakers and scholars who question methodology or framing. As part of a broader ecosystem of development organizations, ibon.org serves as a resource for advocacy and information on poverty and policy alternatives.
