Who we are

Facilitation for Peace and Development (FAPAD)

Facilitation for Peace and Development (FAPAD) is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) that started in 2004 in response to the extensive human rights violations in northern Uganda. With a firm legal foundation under the NGO Act of 2016, bearing registration number 2314, FAPAD operates from its headquarters in Lira City, supported by branch offices in Otuke and Amolatar districts within the Lango region of northern Uganda. Our core business centres on empowering individuals and communities to drive positive change in their lives. We create sustainable solutions fostering well-being, resilience, and inclusive development through collaboration and leveraging personal and collective resources. We believe in people’s capacity for change and work closely with them to unlock their strengths. Tailoring interventions to specific contexts, we offer diverse services from education to livelihood support. Our approach prioritises long-term sustainability, empowering communities to manage challenges independently. We promote local leadership and collaborate with stakeholders to maximise impact and facilitate systemic change. For nearly two decades, FAPAD has remained steadfast in its commitment to co-create spaces of understanding and respect for human rights within the Lango sub-region, and northern Uganda broadly. By focusing on strategic themes such as child protection, legal aid, accountable governance, food and income security, the organization has addressed systemic gaps while empowering grassroots stakeholders to drive sustainable change from within. For the next five years (2024-2028), FAPAD will focus on three important and interconnected themes. These include sustainable livelihoods, with a focus on food, nutrition, and income security, as well as social justice, emphasizing security, sexual reproductive health rights, and effective service delivery. Additionally, FAPAD will actively engage in research and publication to enhance knowledge and the impact of research activities in northern Uganda. Through strategic initiatives and community-driven interventions, FAPAD aims to create positive and lasting impacts that empower individuals and enhance the overall well-being of marginalised populations.
