This report identifies and maps the scope and status of the civilian capacities within non-governmental civilian rosters over the three-year period 2007-2009. The findings of the study shed light on the wide range of civilian capacity and the high degree of specialization within the NGO civilian rosters. A key finding is that although most NGO rosters are located in the North, a number of NGO roster personnel have Southern backgrounds. This study also reveals the degree to which various United Nations (UN) agencies and other international and regional organizations are already tapping into the civilian resources represented by these rosters.
