This toolkit focuses on six technologies that practitioners deemed useful in insecure environments because they can function without constant electricity supply, across large distances and without advanced computing skills. Each chapter looks at benefits of a specific technology; discusses practical and ethical challenges as well as mitigation measures; runs through the concrete steps for implementation; and provides insights from applications in Afghanistan, Somalia, South Sudan and Syria.
