The Great Lakes Center for Culture, Peace and Development (GLCPD) is an independent organization in Great Lakes region of Africa and its activities cover Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Head Office of the center is located at AMAHORO Street, REMERA Sector, GASABO District, KIGALI. The aim of GLCPD is the prevention of conflict and the promotion of culture, peace and development in the Great Lakes Region of Africa.
The conflicts in Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo have claimed the lives of millions of innocent civilians, and armed groups in these countries committed gross violations of human rights. The conflicts also destroyed decades of development efforts and prevented further development, thus exacerbating human suffering and poverty. In this region, long-term armed conflicts have led populations, human rights organizations, and military and rebel forces to operate across borders. The consequences of conflict drive the agendas of many human rights activists in the area. As such, human rights and democratic reform, women’s rights, the rights of children and the reintegration of ex-child soldiers, and providing legal aid to vulnerable groups are among should be the Fund’s grant-making priorities in this region. The Great Lakes Center for Culture, Peace and Development work with governments, regional groups/associations and local people to identify the causes and address them in a practical and sustainable manner.
