Company Description
CESVI (Cooperazione e Sviluppo) is a secular and independent Italian humanitarian organization founded in 1985 that operates in Uganda to support vulnerable populations through a combination of emergency aid and long-term development. The organization focuses on promoting human rights and social justice, placing the aspirations of local communities at the center of its interventions. Its mission is to transform the moral principle of human solidarity into concrete actions that foster economic independence and sustainable growth for those most at risk.
In Uganda, CESVI is particularly active in the northern and eastern regions, where it implements programs centered on food security, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience. Their work includes distributing seed kits and agricultural tools, as well as providing technical training on cultivation and storage techniques to help smallholder farmers increase their productivity. Additionally, they are involved in environmental conservation projects, such as the “COMMON ROOTS” initiative, which aims to increase national forest cover and promote environmental sustainability across multiple districts.
Beyond agriculture, CESVI addresses critical infrastructure and protection needs for both local host communities and refugees. They have a history of rehabilitating and constructing essential facilities, including classroom blocks, teacher’s quarters, and health centers, to improve access to education and healthcare. By working in consortiums with other international partners, CESVI ensures an integrated approach that covers water and sanitation, child protection, and the strengthening of local livelihoods, helping marginalized groups build a more autonomous and secure future.
