NGO-in-a-Box

The security version of NGO-in-a-box, developed in parthership with Front Line, is aimed predominantly at human rights, anti-corruption, and womens groups, independent media and journalists. Its purpose is to help these groups, and those who work as trainers and technical support with these groups, to orient themselves with the kinds of security and protection tools they could use and the ability to easily access and try them out.

This boxset is made of three CDs and printed manual. CDs are:

• NGO-in-a-Box Security CD - a compilation of tools and documentation
• TheOpenCD - collection of excellent FOSS desktop applications for Windows(TM)
• Martus CD - software tool that allows users to document incidents of abuse by creating bulletins together with appropriate documentation

The manual is also available in PDF format on NGO-in-a-Box Security CD.

The first version of a security NGO-in-a-box was created for a workshop in Central Asia in 2004. This second version will be a revised set of resources based on feedback, it aims to be more accessible to end-users and to also include more materials and guides along with the tools, this is particularly important in the areas of security.
