EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES
BACKGROUND
CIfED was born out of the necessity to respond to the profound challenges faced by households in the Teso sub-region. Poverty, particularly in vulnerable farming communities, has spurred us into action. We champion integrated approaches, supporting communities to become more self-reliant and regain control of their own development. Our primary focus is on women and youth, who often grapple with limited access to resources and bargaining power.
