The Integrated Regional Information Network/PlusNews (IRIN/PlusNews) manages a flexible and up-to-date feed of information to and from non-governmental agencies (NGOs), national authorities, UN agencies, donors, human rights organisations, political parties, regional institutions, churches, academia, businesses and the media. The IRIN covers sub-Saharan Africa, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, regions that are often under-reported, misunderstood, or ignored. By fostering greater awareness and understanding of regional issues and events, the IRINs contribute to better-informed and more effective humanitarian action and media coverage, including emergency preparedness and advocacy.
