Shaping the future of civic space in Uganda! 🇺🇬 Key insights and actionable recommendations for CSOs on the Protection of Sovereignty Act 2026 with @MMohndifuna, @BensonEkweeOcen, @MRA and @MufumbaVictoria

Group one & two presentations respectively, group one focused on operational workstreams for implementation advising that individuals from banned CSOs & interested members of the public can join other CSOs and participate individually. Group two advised on uniting institutional CSOs for a coordination strategy, coming up with factsheets to state and popularize the position of CSOs, & engaging the ministry because this has affected CSOs by creating human rights violations & poverty through job losses

Group session presentations on operational workstreams for implementation and strategic inputs for the upcoming CSO caucus regarding the adoption of formal resolutions, strategic choices and thresholds, and governance and resource pooling.

Foreign money is not outright banned, but rather activity based testing dictates legal risk, & CSOs are aligning around the twelve core recommendations focusing heavily on statutory compliance, legal protection, & grassroots local engagement. Furthermore, the framework integrates core strategic pillars & five interconnected arenas of action, operationalized through structured workstreams & tangible deliverables designed to unify both national & regional civil society networks. @overlookediq
