CCG 2018 Annual Report

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
CCG held a number of Meetings at regional and international levels as well as those in the universities and with the general population on shrinking civic space, constitutional literacy and the broad civic education campaign on governance and development in Uganda including key sessions on gender, human rights and oil governance in Uganda.

The major highlight of the year was the EAC Regional conference (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania) on shrinking civic space in East Africa helped to identify and learn from strategies for surviving and addressing declining civic space; promote learning on documentation, advocacy and strategic litigation in protecting civic space and explore opportunities for strengthening learning, exchange and collaboration for continued action for protecting civic space in the region.

OUR WORK 

Shrinking Civic Space
In addition to collaborative efforts with other civil society actors, a regional conference was organized as a first response to an increasingly hostile civic space in the region. The meeting aimed to bring together key civil society actors, government actors and their partners to draw out lessons of response strategies across the region and examining their efficacy. The meeting contributed to shaping future civic engagements and safeguarding the space for CSO’s in governance to operate. Key lessons on documenting the declining civic space, messaging,
advocacy and strategic litigation were drawn to inform a proposed agenda for action to strengthen the defence of civic space in the region.
