NGOs & Humanitarian
NK PRO gives NGO program teams reliable information, primary source access, and analytical context to make sound operational decisions when information from inside the DPRK is scarce and stakes are high.
Why NK PRO for humanitarian work
01
When the DPRK's agricultural situation shifts, when a new restriction on foreign NGO operations is announced, when the public health picture changes — NK PRO's analysis team flags it quickly and in context. The KCNA Watch alert system lets you monitor official DPRK statements on your program area without reading every dispatch manually.
02
The Leadership Tracker provides biographical data and appearance histories for the officials your staff will meet. The Organizational Directory maps the ministries and agencies relevant to your program area. Going in with this background is the difference between a productive meeting and a missed opportunity.
03
The Document Repository holds primary source materials including official DPRK government documents. KCNA Watch provides original-language state media with permanent permalinks suitable for institutional reports and donor briefings. This is sourcing you can stand behind.

Randall Spadoni
DPRK Program Director, World Vision
NK PRO has been able to provide me an insight with in-depth, accurate quality information beyond my scope and made me to follow up certain thematic topics which otherwise I would not have been able to follow up and gain a profound view while being resident in the DPRK.

Former SDC Director of Cooperation, Pyongyang
NK News gives me the background news and overviews I need in order to focus in closely on NK’s human rights situation in my own research and writing. And NK News provides the context of happenings in, on and regarding the Korean peninsula that are invaluable for our advocacy to put human rights issues on to the agenda and into the mix with all the other aspects of the NK conundrum.
