CIVICUS, Christian Aid and ACT Alliance are hosting an event to explore recent research by Christian Aid on how COVID-19 has shrunk civic space, the latest CIVICUS analysis in the 2022 SOCS (State of Civil Society) report, and share ideas and plans for countering this trend, supporting CSOs and alliances, looking for ways to fund civil society and asking how to make digital space more inclusive. They will also look ahead to future policy/advocacy opportunities.
