This paper looks at restrictive environments and the roles that CSOs and the international and funding partners that support them can continue to play in the field of security, justice and inclusive governance, despite the challenges they face. It describes the challenges such externally funded, often smaller CSOs face in conducting lobbying, advocacy, dialogue and other activities, and the coping mechanisms they have used. It makes recommendations for international and funding partners on how to proceed in such restrictive environments, based mainly on the experiences of CSO representatives themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-contents field--label-above\">\n<div class=\"label\">Table of contents<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item\">\n<p class=\"p1\">I.
