The Tech4NGO site is a knowledge-base of upcoming and available technologies suited for use by NGOs. With the continued development of the Open Source movement, many software and web tools are freely available today, and can be further developed or adopted to a wide variety of uses. Some of the categories we maintain include:

• Technology for Independent Media – Production and distribution of content
• Online Advocacy – Campaigns, funding, social networking, relationship management
• Internet Security – Providing security and privacy, circumventing and mitigating threats

As the knowledge-base grows, NGOs and civil society organizations have a central reference of the tools and technologies they need to build capabilities and achieve their missions.
