CIPE was founded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1983 in the belief
that economic and political freedoms are intertwined. CIPE partners
with business associations, think tanks, and other private sector
organizations in countries where there is both a need for progress
and an opportunity for reform. These strategic partnerships allow
CIPE to provide management assistance, practical experience, and financial
support to local organizations to strengthen their capacity to implement
democratic and economic reforms. Read
