About CCEI
Center for Conservation and Ecoenergy Iniatiative
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.
