Community Empowerment for Rural Development (CEFORD) is a non-profit indigenous NGO registered in Uganda since July 2000. CEFORD's history dates back to 1993, when the Ugandan government, with financial and technical support from the Dutch government, implemented the Community Action Programme (CAP) and later the Women's Empowerment Programme (WFP) in the West Nile region. Both programmes were considered a success by the municipalities and county councils of the West Nile region, external evaluators and the Embassy of the Netherlands (EKN). They focused on community mobilisation and capacity building through service delivery and the implementation of micro-projects. The CAP focused on the provision of social infrastructure services and the implementation of agricultural projects, while the WFP focused on empowering women and strengthening their capacity to participate in the development process. Thus, CEFORD was created in July 2000 to fill the gap created by the completion of these successful programmes, which expired in June 2000. CEFORD currently operates in parts of all 9 districts of the West Nile area (Adjumani, Arua, Moyo, Nebbi, Yumbe, Koboko, Maracha, Pakwach and Zombo) and the Amuru district in the Acholi region of northern Uganda.
