The BASICS Project
Internews’ BASICS project (Building Analytical and Support Infrastructure for Critical Security tools) aims to increase capacity and improve long-term sustainability for critical open source digital security tools used by human rights defenders around the world. BASICS accomplishes this through two main activities:
1) building ties between tool teams and the communities they serve by placing skilled individuals from targeted and vulnerable populations with the tool team as contributing specialists who help address tool needs (as identified through a collaborative assessment and planning process)
2) creating privacy-conscious methods to track tool usage and prioritize development needs through the Clean Insights privacy-respecting analytics methodology and toolkit (SDKs for Android, iOS, Javascript, Python, and Rust).
