Our Programs

CEEC’s operational framework is structured around four pillars: Good GovernanceGender EqualityHuman Rights, and Peacebuilding. These pillars reflect a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to addressing challenges in CEEC’s geographical areas of operation. This is in acknowledgement of the interdependence of key factors that contribute to sustainable development and social change, and therefore the complementarity of the four pillars.

Good Governance

This program aims at promoting civic engagement and inclusive participation of all members of the society, especially women and youth in governance, leadership and decision making at all levels.

Gender Equality

This program aims at enhancing the capacity of communities to understand and address factors that contribute to and compound gender inequality, such as discriminative gender norms, and entrenched gender stereotypes.

Human Rights

This program aims at building the capacity of right holders on the one hand to claim and defend their rights, and on the other hand, strengthen the duty bearer’s capacity to effectively discharge their obligation of respecting, protecting and promoting the human rights of all.

Peace Building

This program seeks to enhance communities’ capacity to effectively participate in peace processes, and equip them with positive conflict resolution and transformation skills, thus promoting harmonious co-existence.
