The Great Lakes Center for Culture, Peace and Development (GLCPD) is an independent organization started in January 2008. The organization is registered as a not-for-profit and non-governmental organization in Rwanda and its activities cover Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Head Office 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. 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.
