    Below are some of the most noteworthy events for the week starting Oct. 31:

    FEATURED EVENT

    Civil Space in Peril: Responding to Raids
    Nov. 1, 7:30 a.m. EST / 11.30 a.m. CET / 3:30 p.m. GST
    Online

    If your office was raided by police, would you know what to do?
    Last month, civil society organizations in Uganda endured office raids by the country’s police, who spent hours removing documents and confiscating phones and laptops. These raids reflect a deeper and troubling global trend: governments are cracking down on civil society organizations, with bureaucratic delays, office raids, and stifling regulations to hinder aid work.
    Is your organization at risk? Join our conversation with Devex Editor Elizabeth Dickinson and ActionAid Uganda Country Director Arthur Larok, who will share practical insights about where these raids are happening, how to prepare for the possibility at your organization, and how to manage the fallout if it happens.
