In order to advocate for changes in legal frameworks related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT), civil society organisations (CSOs) first need to be aware of how these regulations affect their daily operation. They then can extensively assess the exact risks associated with the related policies.
Uganda is not an exception from the global trend of governments trying to interfere with the work of civil society actors, mainly those focusing on transparency, democracy and rule of law. These negative intentions can increase around elections, particularly aimed at critical voices that bring light to deficits in democracy and good governance.
