CTEN is an ICT centered refugee-founded and led organization which began in 2011 and 2016 in South Sudan (Yei) and Uganda (Rhino Camp, Arua district) as a community based initiative. It was founded by south Sudanese (refugee) professionals who saw a gap in information dissemination and communication among refugees. Its main goal is to connect, assist and inform the refugees and host community through ICT and sports. In 2018, CTEN became a legally registered NNGO in Uganda,
headquartered at Eden Zone in Rhino Camp refugee settlement. CTEN has since expanded to four other refugee settlements namely Bidibidi, Imvepi, Lobule and Kiryandongo as a result of support from UNHCR, UNHCR Innovation Service Geneva, WFP, NetHope, Mercy Corps, GSMA, BMZ, Royal Dutch Embassy Juba, Australian Embassy Nairobi, Great Lakes Initiative (GLI) and other network of CTEN -Connects ~ Assist ~ Informs individuals and organizations in the diaspora.
