Africa Great Lakes

About CPT's Africa Great Lakes Project

Through a series of exploration delegations between 2005-2007, CPT connected with human rights organizations, peace groups, civil society leaders and church leaders to gain a better understanding of the conflict in the Great Lakes region -- specifically in the Congo and Uganda.

CPT intends to send a longer-term three-month exploration team in late 2008.
