Community Empowerment for Creative Innovation

Community Empowerment for Creative Innovation (CECI Uganda) is a refugee-led organization promoting peace, self-reliance, and dignity in refugee communities in Northern Uganda since 2017. We work directly with youth, women, and girls from refugee and host communities to prevent, reduce, and transform violent conflicts. Our peacebuilding, education, livelihood, and environment programs are rooted in local innovations and driven by local needs. They create an enabling environment for healing, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence in refugee settlements while empowering individuals and communities to participate actively in their own development.
