Who We Are

Rooted in communities. Accountable to people affected by crisis.

Mission

Timely response to healthcare, livelihoods, and protection needs of victims of conflicts and natural disasters—and working with communities to build peace and social cohesion.

Vision

An Africa where existential emergencies are contained responsively, and peace and social cohesion are restored in time.

Core Values

Compassion, responsiveness, integrity, empathy, and indiscrimination—in every programme we deliver.

From the leadership

"Our strength is local knowledge—listening first, delivering with communities, and staying accountable when emergencies strike."

Established in Northeast Nigeria, CEER has spent eight years partnering with local and international organisations to deliver life-saving assistance and development support—from farmer field schools and anticipatory action for floods to mine risk education and peace dialogues.

We work in Kanuri, Hausa, Fulfulde, Bura, and Shuwa Arab communities, with a team overwhelmingly drawn from the region, so programmes reflect cultural understanding and reach the most vulnerable groups.
