The Centre for Peace and Conflict Mitigation (CEPCOM -Uganda) is a registered local Ugandan non-governmental organization (NGO) working since 2009 to promote peaceful coexistence and unity among Uganda’s very diverse communities while creating opportunities for socio-economic improvement.
Since its inception, CEPCOM has consistently striven to promote harmony and peaceful coexistence among communities using human rights-based approaches to conflict mitigation
that focus on removing the underlying causes of conflict rather than treating symptoms.
Doctrine on Environment: The Universe is the Common ‘Home’ therefore; it is everyone’s Collective Responsibility and Obligation to sustainably use it for Peaceful Coexistence.
Overall theme: My Environment, My Identity
CEPCOM has a conviction that the major determinant of a community’s social behavior is the Environment. Therefore, through CEPCOM’s catchphrase, Building Bridges for Peaceful Coexistence, communities have an obligation to foster activities that facilitate protection, conservation and regeneration of the environment.
