CECORE: Building locally owned peace and safer communities across Uganda and the Eastern & Central Africa region since 1995.

We Promote a Culture of Peace

The Centre for Conflict Resolution (CECORE) is a Ugandan non-profit organization dedicated to promoting peaceful and sustainable solutions to conflict. Since 1995, we have empowered individuals, communities, and institutions to prevent violence, resolve disputes, and build inclusive societies across Uganda, the Great Lakes, and the Horn of Africa.

As a non-profit organization, CECORE relies on a variety of funding sources including individual donors, foundations, corporations, governments as well as income from consultancies. Due to this diversity, we are strongly committed to transparency and accountability.

Through networking locally, regionally and inter-nationally, we have maintained strong links with various organizations and networks to increase the impact of joint actions, especially regarding advocacy.

 Targeted actors include government institutions and structures that are vital for pushing for relevant policy changes.

NGOs, Training Institutions, Government Agencies and International Organisations

All our trainings for groups and institutions are tailor-made to respond to their specific context and needs. The trainings take into account the different linguistic and cultural contexts, as well as any other vulnerability.

 When in a new area, we ensure to work with and gain the support of local partners, for the duration of the engagement. In cases where we cannot fully respond to the needs of a particular group, such as fulfilling material needs, which is not our direct mandate, we link with appropriate partners, from our wide base of partnership.

We work with people especially in conflict-affected areas to build their awareness and skills so they can prevent, resolve, and transform conflict; our approach is based on deep understanding, listening, and tailored, timely interventions.

Some People Need Help And We Give It!

We have contacts in many of the communities around the country, through persons we have interacted with in one way or the other.

Community members can also contact us in case of a need for our services especially in peacebuilding, conflict resolution or conflict sensitive planning.

Volunteers and Interns

Over the years, CECORE has received and worked with volunteers and interns from both within the country and globally; coming either as part of an academic requirement, or to gain practical experience in our area of work.The duration at CECORE would depend on both the availability of opportunities as well as space.

The volunteers cater for their needs but the organisation may offer to arrange for their safe accommodation. When based in the office, the office facilities are at their disposal.

Media

We invite media personnel and houses to partner with us to contribute to a peaceful society. We can support training in ethical as well as peace reporting.

The media is a vital partner when it comes to advocacy on issues of peace and development as it is from a peaceful society that comes development.
