The great lakes region has been a hub of violent conflict over the years, all countries in the region have gone through political unrest and/or civil wars and some are currently ongoing.
Uganda is one of the hard-hit both directly and indirectly by civil conflict, war, and internal civil conflicts notably the Lord’s Resistance Army, Allied Democratic Forces, NALU, and many others. Kasese, Kabarole, and the Rwenzori region being at the center of conflict due to the Congo border, GLPC comes in handy to build an enabling environment for Positive Peace starting with the Rwenzori region growing to the entire Great Lakes region.
