Empowering women to promote environmental conservation and clean renewable energy access because they are more…
Center for Conservation and Ecoenergy Initiative: is a women-led not-for-profit organization born out of the need to contribute to efforts to turn Uganda’s clean energy potential into reality and to ensure that the common woman and man benefits from this energy boom. The organization is also dedicated to promoting sustainable environmental use, climate change mitigation, human rights and land rights of vulnerable communities.
The organization was formed in 2019 to promote and advocate for the protection of environment and human rights for vulnerable groups particularly women, youths, elderly and others in communities affected by the oil activities, and other projects.
Through lobbying, research and community education, CCEI works with communities and leaders to ensure that clean energy resources are utilised in a way that promotes equitable development, environmental conservation and respect for human rights.
Through its conservation efforts, the organization has developed unique nature conservation strategies that cater for the needs of people while maintaining ecosystem stability. Below are some of our services
