Foreign Organizations Database

What it is & what you get

The NK PRO Foreign Organizations Database is a comprehensive directory of hundreds of organizations worldwide that focus on the DPRK — including NGOs, universities, think tanks, research centers, advocacy groups, and policy organizations. Covers institutions across North America, Europe, East Asia, and beyond.

Notably includes South Korean organizations that are not easily findable through Western search portals — filling a critical gap for non-Korean-speaking professionals.

Each entry includes background information on the organization's mandate and North Korea focus, along with contact details where available. The database is updated quarterly.
