Project background: Civil Society Enabling Environment (CSEE) Project
Goal: Strengthening operational resilience of civil society and human rights defenders in the West Nile region in the face of legal and policy regulatory restrictions to their freedom of expression and digital space.
Summary of Project: Under the USAID Civil Society Strengthening Activity (CSSA), Feminature Uganda is implementing the ‘Promoting an Enabling Environment for Civil Society Organizations in Uganda’ Project. This project support Feminature Uganda’s objective to increase the understanding of the legal and policy frameworks regulating civil society organizations (CSOs) in Uganda, and to mobilize CSOs and human rights defenders (HRDs) in the Arua district (and broader West Nile region) to respond to restrictions on the freedom of expression and the enjoyment of civic space online. To this end, Feminature Uganda plans to hold two trainings on legal and policy frameworks affecting CSOs and data protection, respectively; and host a workshop to gather recommendations for addressing restrictions on the freedom of expression and digital civic space, which will be the basis of a policy paper on the topic. All trainings and workshops will be held by hybrid format with in person venues and Zoom links. The project is in furtherance of the National Enabling Environment Action Plan developed by civil society in July-August 2021 under the Uganda Civil Society Strengthening Activity. Activities will take place over the course of seven months, and Feminature Uganda will participate in a virtual meeting to exchange learning on this project towards the end of the grant period. It is against this background that Feminature seeks to recruit consultants/trainers for the attainment of the objectives and goal of this project.
