Country Programs

African Great Lakes Region

In the Great Lakes region of Africa, the Fund’s grants support more than forty human rights organizations in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi. 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 the Fund’s grant-making priorities in this region.
