Welcome to LCI

A people with one heart and a shared future

The Lango Cultural Institution (LCI) is the traditional authority of the Lango people of mid-northern Uganda. Under the leadership of Won Nyaci Eng. Dr. Moses Michael Odongo Okune, we serve communities across Lira, Apac, Alebtong, Dokolo, Amolatar, Oyam, Kole, Otuke and Kwania.

We believe that culture is identity. Together with 149 registered clans, we preserve what makes us Lango and build a future our children can be proud of.

Our Mission

To preserve Lango cultural heritage, promote unity among our people, and support sustainable community development through education, culture and partnership.
