Strengthening democracy around the globe through private enterprise and market-oriented reform.

#WayBackWednesday from Bishkek to the #B20USA. ⛏️🌎

Earlier this year, the #B5plus1 Forum put critical minerals at the center of U.S.–Central Asia business dialogue, with a focus on reforms that can attract investment and strengthen supply chains.

This week, CIPE takes that conversation to Washington as @USChamber convenes global business leaders for B20, including dialogue around critical minerals in Central Asia.

As a core institute of @NEDemocracy, CIPE is proud to stand with @DamonMacWilson and our Sudanese partners. The Sudan Integrity Summit recognizes a critical truth: the work of building the foundations for peace and economic recovery cannot wait. 🇸🇩

[Damon M. Wilson @DamonMacWilson]

Sudan’s war is sustained by economic interests as well as military ambitions. Those profiting from conflict have incentives to prolong it.

But Sudanese entrepreneurs, journalists & reformers are building a different future.

Proud to stand with @CIPEglobal and our Sudanese partners. We cannot wait for peace to build its foundations.

CIPE's B5+1 initiative brings together the private sectors of Central Asia and the United States to drive market-oriented reforms, expand trade, and advance regional competition on the global stage. 🇺🇸✨

Critical minerals are only part of the equation.

At #NigeriaMiningWeek2026, CIPE highlighted what really drives investment: strong institutions, predictable rules, and private-sector leadership.

A more competitive Nigerian mining sector means new opportunities for trade, investment, and U.S.-Nigeria partnerships. 🇳🇬🇺🇸 #CriticalMinerals #USAfrica

Political and economic repression often go hand in hand.

When governments silence independent voices, seize assets & punish businesses, both democracy and prosperity suffer.

Behind every political prisoner is a human story—a family separated, a voice silenced, a courageous life interrupted.

On Friday, 10/30, we will gather at the Lincoln Memorial to speak their names, honor their courage, and stand with those fighting for their freedom.

Join us at 5 PM.
