CECORE was founded more than 20 years ago by a number of Ugandans aspiring to promote alternative and creative means of preventing, managing, and resolving conflict.

CECORE’s purpose is to empower individual women and men, communities, organizations and institutions to transform conflict effectively by applying alternative and creative means in order to promote a culture of active tolerance and peace.

We engage in action-oriented research, policy influencing, documentation, information sharing, strategic dialogue, networking and partnership building. We also collaborate with partners and donors to achieve our objectives.

We work throughout Uganda, and partner with organisations in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa Regions on various peacebuilding and conflict transformation initiatives.
