How civil society is responding to repressive regimes: Learning brief

This learning brief summarises learning from research commissioned by Christian Aid Ireland into the ways in which local civil society actors are responding to or finding ways to continue their work under increasingly repressive regimes. The learning draws from empirical studies conducted in Burundi, Zimbabwe, and Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (IOPT). This brief focuses on the strategies of response deployed by local organisations and the key recommendations arising from these approaches.

The research in IOPT was carried out prior to October 2023.
