RISE & BUILD Organization is a regional, non-profit and non-partisan organization. It was established in 2024 in Kampala, Uganda in response to increasing needs for millions of populations in the conflict-ridden region of the Horn of Africa. The needs range from humanitarian assistance, development interventions and peacebuilding. Although challenges facing local communities are context specific in each country and regions in the Horn of Africa, holistic development and peace building approaches are critical because most of those challenges and needs are interdependent with spillover effects across borders of the members states of the Horn of Africa.
Against this backdrop, R&B Organization is committed to engage and mobilize disadvantaged communities and groups to rise and unfold their potentials to achieve sustainable peace, justice and development in the region. It aims at transforming peoples’ lives, with abilities to equitably access opportunities regardless of race, color, religion or cultural background. The organization is strategically and legally registered to work in Uganda (Reg.), South Sudan (Reg.), Sudan (Reg.) including its war-torn and marginalized regions of the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile and Darfur. IDPs, Refugees, and vulnerable/disadvantage groups, namely women, children, and youth are the main targets and beneficiaries of interventions and activities.
RISE & BUILD Organization provides problem solving focused consultancy services, undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team of highly professional international, regional and national experts in community development, peace, conflict resolution, humanitarian assistance, and disaster responses. We capitalize on partnership and collaboration to assist donors, development, peace, humanitarian organizations and governments in responding to development, and in peacebuilding, and conflict mitigation and transformation in post-conflict and post-natural disaster recovery processes.
RISE & BUILD is driven and guided by a set of core values and principles in development and humanitarian interventions, conflict mitigation/ transformation, and peacebuilding processes, including, but not limited to, localization, bottom-up, conflict sensitive development, and Do No Harm principles.
At R&B, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation to drive positive change. Let's work together to make a difference and shape a brighter, more sustainable future.
