CEFTRA-WN Joins the Next Creata Journey!

A new chapter for young creatives in Arua City! 🎨📱🎥

Today, CEFTRA-WN is proud to have a member of our staff participate in the launch and training of Cohort One of the Next Creata Programme, hosted by Host Hub Innovation Center in Arua City.

The programme brings together over 70 young creatives aged 18–35 and is designed to equip young people with practical digital and media skills for Uganda’s growing creative economy.

Participants are gaining hands-on skills in:

🎥 Content Creation & Video Production
🎨 Graphic Design
📲 Social Media Management
📖 Digital Storytelling
🌟 Personal Branding
💼 Freelancing & Creative Entrepreneurship

We are particularly excited about the strong participation of young women, with more than 95% of Cohort One participants being female. This is an important opportunity to advance women’s participation, visibility, leadership, and economic empowerment within the digital and creative space.

At CEFTRA-WN, we believe that investing in young people’s skills, creativity and innovation is key to creating decent, meaningful and sustainable opportunities while strengthening youth participation in the digital economy.

We are grateful to Host Hub Innovation Center, Mastercard Foundation, International Trade Centre (ITC), Bayimba Foundation, and Next Media Foundation for creating this important opportunity for young people in Arua and across Uganda.

🌍 Young people are not just consumers of the digital economy—they are creators, innovators and leaders shaping its future.

ARUA CITY YOUTH PARLIAMENT 2026

Arua City today joined the world in commemorating International Youth Day 2026 under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.”

As part of the commemoration, young people took centre stage at the Youth Parliament held at the District Council Hall, providing a platform for them to voice their concerns, present motions and engage duty bearers on issues affecting their lives and future.

The motions focused on key priorities including:

🔹 Youth unemployment, livelihoods and economic empowerment
🔹 Drug and substance abuse, mental health and wellbeing
🔹 Meaningful youth participation and accountable governance
🔹 Refugee protection, integration and peaceful coexistence
🔹 Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ASRHR)
🔹 Environmental conservation and community service

The Youth Parliament is more than a celebration—it is a platform for young people to participate in governance, influence decisions and demand accountability on issues that matter to them.

The resolutions arising from the discussions will provide a basis for continued engagement between young people, Arua City Council, government, development partners and other stakeholders.

SUIDAC Empowering Communities Through Inclusive Livelihoods!

Today, Community Empowerment for Transformation Action West Nile (CEFTRA-WN) handed over UGX 3 million each to four women, youth, and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) groups under the Sustainable Urban Integration of Displacement Affected Communities (SUIDAC) programme.

The beneficiary groups previously underwent training in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business development skills, equipping them to establish and grow sustainable businesses.

The revolving fund will be rolled out in phases to benefit more community groups across Arua City, strengthening economic resilience and promoting self-reliance among both refugee and host communities.

CEFTRA-WN is a youth-led Community-Based Organization implementing the SUIDAC programme in Arua City. The SUIDAC programme is funded by the European Union, implemented by Cities Alliance hosted by UNOPS, with ACAV serving as the technical partner in Arua City.

Together, we are creating opportunities, strengthening livelihoods, and fostering social cohesion for inclusive urban development.
