CEMA - Center for Environment and Miragtion Assistance
Founded in 2018, CEMA emerged from a deep recognition that migration, climate change, and social vulnerability are not separate issues but deeply linked.
CEMACEMA is a Ugandan non-profit organization committed to advancing sustainable, inclusive, and rights-based responses to the interconnected challenges of forced displacement, environmental degradation, and socio-economic marginalization. Founded in 2018, CEMA emerged from a deep recognition that migration, climate change, and social vulnerability are not separate issues—but deeply linked. We work at the intersection of humanitarian response and long-term development to ensure that displaced populations, especially refugees, women, and youth, are not only protected but empowered as agents of change in their communities. Situated in Uganda a country that hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world—CEMA operates in Kyaka II, Kyangwali and Rwamwanja refugee settlements and host communities. We are known for our grassroots approach, our commitment to accountability and learning, and our ability to bridge local realities with national and global frameworks.
