HURIDOCS

HURIDOCS (Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems) is a non-governmental organization that supports human rights groups with strategies and tools to mobilise information for justice and accountability.

Established in 1982, HURIDOCS develops strategies and tools to facilitate human rights monitoring and documentation work and improve access to bodies of human rights information. HURIDOCS consults with organizations of many scopes and sizes, including local grassroots groups, national human rights institutions and international NGOs, to help them overcome their information management challenges.

HURIDOCS's current flagship tool is Uwazi, an open-source database application designed for human rights defenders to manage collections of facts, testimonies, evidence, cases, complaints and other types of information.
