Together with the Southern Africa Trust, we have published a 429-page book about the legislative environment for civil society in 18 countries in Central, East and Southern Africa.

(Dis) Enabling the Public Sphere: Civil Society Regulation in Africa (Volume 1) was edited by Bhekinkosi Moyo and features a foreword by Graça Machel. Print editions are available in both hardcover and softcover. Readers can also download individual chapters, or the entire book, in PDF format. A second volume is now in the works, focusing primarily on West Africa.
