CAFOMI is a leading local humanitarian organization in Uganda, founded and led by experienced returnee diaspora humanitarian, human rights and development professionals.
CAFOMI blends experience, knowledge and expertise with a team of professionals and volunteers to develop and implement innovative emergency humanitarian assistance and post emergency durable solution programs with full participation of persons of concern.
The refugee and IDP response in Uganda has traditionally been largely led by foreign international organizations with local organization only playing a supporting role. The birth of CAFOMI has changed this dynamic.
Through the seven years of its existence, CAFOMI has significantly grown from an implementing partner of Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid (HIJRA) to become a strategic partner with government of Uganda, UN Systems, and private sector companies, local and international organizations to address the prevailing humanitarian–development-peace nexus challenges.
We have now become a strategic partner of leading humanitarian agencies including the UNHCR and Government of Uganda – Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), International Organization for Migration (IOM), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), Malteser International (MI) and the UN World Food Program (WFP). These partnerships have enabled use deliver programs in various districts, in refugee transit centers and settlements.
CAFOMI is a leader in championing the localization agenda and therefore co-chairs the Steering Committee of Humanitarian Platform for Local and National Organizations which brings together all national organizations, including the Uganda Red Cross, in the humanitarian sector; represents national NGOs on the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) – Steering Group (SG) and the Refugee Donor Partners Group (RDPG); a member of the Network for Empowered Aid Response (NEAR) and member of Uganda National NGO Forum.
