CECI Uganda is a refugee-led community organization that has been making a positive impact in refugee communities in Northern Uganda since 2017. Their mission is to promote peace, self-reliance, and dignity among youth, women, and girls. By directly working with these communities, CECI Uganda aims to prevent, reduce, and transform violent conflicts.

Their programs are centered around peacebuilding, education, livelihood, and the environment. They use local innovations and address the urgent needs of refugees and host communities. Through small, scalable projects, they promote positive interactions, social cohesion, and provide livelihood opportunities and skills for development.

CECI Uganda works in three refugee-hosting districts, focusing on strengthening the role of youth and women in conflict prevention, improving access to quality education, building skills for development and peace, and promoting environmental conservation. They have also initiated initiatives like the Blue Messenger Bicycle Initiative and Salaam Radio to address pressing challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and communication gaps. If you're interested in supporting their impactful work, CECI Uganda welcomes partnerships, donations, volunteering, and collaboration to create sustainable solutions and empower refugee communities to recover and build resilience.
