Standard office equipment specifications are part of any appropriation plan.
In addition, while specific requirements will of course vary, basic additional requirements that may be particular for an NHRI might include: specialized equipment for investigators (digital cameras, audio recorders, secure storage, dedicated photo copying and scanning capacity, etc.) to record and securely store physical evidence and witness testimony. Similarly, education and promotion staff will need specialized equipment to conduct seminars and work shops such as screens, flip charts, facilitation boxes, microphones, and projectors or portable white boards. Corporate requirements also tend to be relatively standard: in addition to basic IT and communications, a typical needs assessment will identify and address requirements related to the need to ensure confidentiality for stored personnel and financial information and documents such as secure filing cabinets, etc.
