Uganda Sovereignty Bill: Implications and Considerations for UK-based INGOs

The aim of this panel event is to bring together UK-based INGOs working in Uganda, and their local partners, to better understand the implications of the legislation and to reflect on their role going forward.

In light of the recent Sovereignty Bill (2026), this session will explore:

- How we can continue to support Ugandan partners in ways that do not expose them to risk.

- What role UK-based organisations should play in standing in solidarity with Ugandan civil society and advocating for civic rights in this context.

- The perspectives, guidance, and expertise of Ugandan civil society leaders, ensuring our understanding is grounded in local leadership.

This is a joint event between Small International Development Charities Network (SIDCN), South West International Development Network (SWIDN), Hub Cymru Africa, Scotland's International Development Alliance, CADA (Coalition of Aid and Development Agencies NI), and Bond.

Note due to the sensitivity of the session it will not be recorded. We will however circulate a summary of the meeting and discussion points using Chatham House Rules and share with all registrants.
