Over the past year, Small Media has been working in partnership with The
Collaboration on International Policy for East and Southern Africa, The
East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Project (Defend Defenders),
and Strathmore University Centre for IP and IT Law (CIPIT) to produce a new
report evaluating the digital threats facing civil society organisations
working across East Africa – in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania.

At this session, Small Media and its partners will present the findings of
its latest report Supercharging Human Rights Defenders in East Africa, and
