CECI Uganda

Community Empowerment for creative innovation (CECI UGANDA) was formed in May 2017 by a group of South Sudanese refugees in Uganda. It was formed to stop violence and build peace through the innovative use of recreational activities, education, and innovations. In August 2017, CECI UGANDA was registered as a Community-Based Organization (Reg. No. 563/124) with Koboko District Local Government and later incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (Reg. No. 80020002697777).

Since then, CECI UGANDA campaigned against all forms of hate speech and incitement to violence and provided community-based and data-driven solutions to the problem of hate speech, disinformation and misinformation in refugee camps in Arua, Yumbe, and Koboko districts of Uganda.

Today, we are working with thousands of refugees and host communities in Yumbe and Koboko districts, with more than 10 partners, to prevent conflicts, rebuild livelihoods, and increase safety and wellbeing. CECI UGANDA is creating an enabling environment for healing, peaceful coexistence, and community wellbeing through education of protection risks.
