Accelerating HRDs safety and capacity for greater resilience and effective fulfilment of their mandates in Uganda The project contributes to DefendDefenders’ protection and security management component which aims to increase the safety and security of HRDs, whether they face threats and imminent risk due to their human rights work or due to limited skills and knowledge in safety and security. Advocacy and policy influencing is derived as a main tool to address the legal and policy environment that is increasingly restricting HRDs and organisations supporting or executing HRD work. Capacity building is hinged on the realisation that the safety and continued operation of HRDs depends on the level of capacity/skills (capacity to do, capacity to be, and capacity to relate) resident within individual HRDs, their organisations, national coalitions, and the sub-regional networks. The program will contribute to enhanced safety and capacity of HRDs in the Uganda for greater resilience and effective fulfillment of their mandates.  Specifically, the project will contribute to three main objectives including: to enhance the availability, accessibility and utilization of emergency and medium-term protection services to HRDs at risk in Uganda; to strengthen policy influence and advocacy engagement at the national and international level for HRD safety; and to improve the capacity of individual HRDs to effectively do their work, respond and mitigate imminent risks and threats faced.

The above objectives will contribute to the following outcomes: enhanced availability, accessibility, and utilisation of emergency and medium-term protection services to HRDs at risk; better policy reform and advocacy engagements with International and African human rights systems, national 
institution, and other relevant stakeholders for HRD safety; and strengthened organizational and technical capacity of individual HRDs, their organisations and national HRD coalition to effectively mitigate security risks and threats and continue their operations DefendDefenders work focuses on  supporting HRDs at risk specifically, women HRDs, HRDs with disability and those working on disability rights, HRDs on environment and natural resources, and HRDs fighting impunity. The project is a continuation from a project funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the protection and safety of HRDs in Uganda to contribute to a safe working for those HRDs from July 2018 to June 2021.
Strengthening Civil Courage –DRC In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, human rights violations are widespread and human security is far from guaranteed. Violations and abuses, by both state and non-state actors, include extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, torture and sexual violence against women and girls. Democratic space is restricted with far-reaching consequences for press, civil society organisations and human rights defenders active on issues like natural resources, human rights, accountability and elections monitoring. The programme aspires to contribute to improving the human rights and human security situation at different levels. It aims to support pro-democratic civil society actors in effectively advocating for the improvement of electoral laws, institutions and processes. At the same time, it works with local organisations and selected communities in East and Northeast Congo on resolving (armed) conflict and the protection of human rights by state and non-state authorities. Conflicts relate for instance to access to land and natural resources and may e.g. occur between communities and authorities, between nomadic and resident communities or between artisanal miners and industrial mining companies. Activities include skills development (including on physical and digital security), monitoring and documenting human rights violations, facilitating dialogues and advocacy campaigns. The programme primarily works with (women) human rights defenders, pro-democratic civil society actors, and with selected local communities affected by natural reserves policies, industrial mining or violent conflict with rival groups. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage –Sahel Provide a brief but meaningful description of the ‘why’ and the focus of the programme. Write concise and specific. Avoid jargon.
The Sahel has been the scene of large-scale armed conflict since 2012. Jihadist groups, state security forces, international military actors, and community militias and bandits are involved in these armed conflict. The conflict is exacerbated due to conflict between communities and weak state presence. There is economic underdevelopment, clientelism and corruption among elites. The programme in the Sahel will work with civil society actors to address these issues, common security and human rights problems. The main objective of the Sahel programme is for CSOs and human rights defenders, working in the tri-border region of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, to contribute to greater accountability and more inclusive conflict-sensitive policies through effective monitoring and documentation of human rights violations, advocacy, and inclusive dialogue for peace and justice. More specifically, the aim is for CSOs, female and young human rights defenders and activists to claim their civic space; that state actors increasingly respond to the pressure of citizens to build inclusive communities; and, for national governments and international military actors to adhere to international norms and human rights standards. The main target groups are human rights defenders that work at national level on civic space, good governance and rule of law; human rights defenders involved in monitoring and reporting conflict-related human rights violations; civilian populations and communities in the Liptako Gourma border region; and, CSO partners from the three sides of the border. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Partnership The Strengthening Civil Courage programme builds on hope, the hope that emanates from the emerging citizens protest movements that reflect civil courage and the inexhaustible and universal desire for peace and fundamental rights. All over the world, people stand up, organize themselves and raise their voices, despite many challenges and obstacles. Democracy and pluralism are under assault in many countries, political violence is rising, violence against women continues, civic space is under attack, arms trade is flourishing, conflicts affect environments and climate change aggravates inequality and strife. The Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance intends to stand with these courageous people and support them. The Alliance consists of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders and PAX The programme aspires to contribute to more equal power relations for realising inclusive peace and justice. Together with its in-country partner networks, it will defend and increase civic space, transform (local) conflicts, protect human rights, pursue gender equality and work on mitigation of external stress factors like illegal arms trade and unresponsible business conduct. The alliance works primarily with civil society organisations in the programme countries, victim groups, (women) human rights defenders, local communities, traditional and religious leaders with a special focus on supporting youth and female leadership. The Strengthening Civil Courage Programme consists of 11 country programmes in Africa and the Middle East, a regional programme in the Sahel and a programme at international level. Country and regional programmes are published as separate IATI activities as well.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Ethiopia After a period of heavy repression of human rights defenders, Ethiopian authorities allowed more freedom to them in recent years. Legal frameworks developed positively. However, in practice the newly gained freedom is fragile and civic space is curtailed. Repressive actions still threaten the safety and security of journalists and others defending or using their rights to freely express themselves, to assemble or to associate. In particular in conflict situations, widely spread in the country, human rights defenders and activists are at risk of violent actions, both from government agencies and from various political, ethnic armed groups. Violence includes arbitrary arrests and detention, enforced disappearances, rape and other sexual and gender-based violence. The programme aims to support Ethiopian civil society and human rights defenders, including journalists, to strengthen their resilience and capacity to counter civic space constraints and to speak out on human rights issues in safe and secure ways. Trainings and other interventions will e.g focus on physically and digitally safe ways of working, self-care, gender-sensitive reporting and developing strong networks that engage in effective advocacy or dialogues with relevant authorities in Ethiopia or internationally. A second line of work will specifically focus on conflict related human rights violations in the Oromia Region. Applying a community-based approach, the Alliance will work with local civil society to enhance capacities in monitoring, documenting and balanced reporting on human rights violations. Partners will be supported to develop effective ways in using the documented evidence in advocacy for accountability mechanisms and effective actions by government authorities as well as opposition groups to address human rights violations. The programme will mainly work with (women) human rights defenders, journalists and their networks. In the Oromia region it will focus on cooperation with conflict affected communities and their leaders, women’s and youth groups in particular. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks. The country level activity is part of the larger programme.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Burundi Over the last decade, the Burundian government has taken numerous measures to limit civic space in the country, including the right to freedom of expression. Civil society has shrunken and many NGOs were suspended. Over 200 000 Burundians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries. Against the backdrop of these events, the SCC programme in Burundi focusses on countering the repression of human rights defenders by the Burundian government. In parallel, the aim is to put pressure on the government to end human rights violations and to ensure accountable to the perpetrators. In particular, the programme targets women human rights defenders, who seem to be especially subject to human rights violations. The main objective is for Burundian CSOs and human rights defenders to have a safer space and increased capacity to address the human rights situation and to become a healthy countervailing power in their own society. More specifically, the programme pursues for the Burundian authorities to respond to calls for adherence to international and regional human rights standards and the protection of human rights defenders. Secondly, it aims that by the end of the programme, the Burundian authorities respond to calls for adherence to human rights standards and for the accountability for grave human rights violations. The main target groups are the Burundian human rights defenders and civil society organisations whose leadership is in exile, and human rights monitors in Burundi (they gather information for human rights CSOs). Another important target group are victims and families of victims that have experience grave human rights violations. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – South Sudan For decades, the population of South Sudan has experienced an almost continuous state of violent conflict. Despite several peace deals in the recent past, national level conflict still interlinks with local, pre-existing conflicts over land, pasture, water, cattle. The conflicting interests related to natural resources add to the complex interlinkages between local and national conflicts.  Communities do not benefit from resources sharing and in addition suffer from the exacerbation of armed conflict, deforestation and environmental damage. In this context of unresolved conflicts, civic space is squeezed by the prevalent threat of violent and repressive actions by those whose interests are threatened when citizens speak up or act. Traditional cultural beliefs hinder women to participate in decision making processes and peace-building initiatives. Sexual violence has been used as a weapon in conflicts, but perpetrators are often not prosecuted as local judges are often applying traditional laws. In selected South Sudanese states, the programme aspires to work at multiple levels (national, sub-national and grassroots) and to contribute to widening civic space, peace building, gender justice and accountability of economic actors. Human rights defenders will be supported in safely raising their voices and claiming civil and political rights. Communities, armed youth groups and local and national leaders will be supported in engaging in peace processes and sustainable peace arrangements. Female leaders will get support in influencing decision making on gender laws and policies. Activities include research, training and other ways of capacity development, advocacy, facilitating dialogues. The programme will primarily work with (women) human rights defenders, communities affected by conflict and insecurity, victims of human rights abuse and insecurity (including victims of oil exploitation) and church, civil society and traditional leadership, especially youth and women leaders. Local authorities, security actors, international actors and the diplomatic community will be addressed on their roles and responsibilities in realising change towards peace and justice. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Kenya The programme focuses on Kenya’s restricted civic space as well as human rights violations in the context of State security sector operations (counter-terrorism operations). At national level, crackdowns on demonstrations violated the freedoms of expression and assembly. Journalists and human rights defenders, youth and targeted populations have been subject to harassment, intimidation, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), negative profiling and extrajudicial killings when investigating and speaking out on corruption and extrajudicial executions as well as on issues like reproductive health and gender-based violence. 
Kenya’s military involvement in Somalia in 2011, as well as its  geographic location has made the country vulnerable to acts of (international) terrorism. To counter this vulnerability, Kenya developed and implements counter terrorism measures. In practice, security operations have been negatively impacting the enjoyment of basic human rights of Muslim communities in the Coast and North-eastern regions. These communities have faced widespread discrimination, lack of economic opportunities, marginalization and ethnic or religious profiling by security forces. Programme activities intend to support civil society organisations, (women) human rights defenders and other activists to claim the necessary civic space that enables them to operate freely and express their legitimate demands. Interventions include strengthening of protection mechanisms and solidarity networks, and enhancing skills in assembling evidence-based reports to influence the policies at regional, national and international levels. The second line of work ultimately aspires that Kenyan authorities acknowledge the violation of rights of Muslim people and their communities, and take adequate measures for redress of victims and non-repetition of such violations. To that end, civil society organisations and rights holders will be supported in documenting and reporting on human rights violations, and to use that evidence in advocacy and dialogue with relevant duty bearers at local or national level. The Alliance will work in particular with and for (Women) Human Rights Defenders, including journalists, Muslim communities in Kenya’s Coastal and North-eastern region and victims of human rights violations. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
