Ces conflits, souvent enracin\u00e9s dans la manipulation identitaire, les griefs historiques, l\u2019exclusion dans la gouvernance et la comp\u00e9tition pour les ressources naturelles, ont provoqu\u00e9 des cons\u00e9quences humanitaires d\u00e9vastatrices, entra\u00eenant des millions de morts et de d\u00e9placements. Interpeace est actuellement actif au Burundi, en R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo (RDC), au Rwanda et en Ouganda.<\/p>\n<p>Les dynamiques conflictuelles dans la r\u00e9gion sont profond\u00e9ment interconnect\u00e9es. Les tensions internes d\u00e9passent souvent les fronti\u00e8res, renfor\u00e7ant un syst\u00e8me r\u00e9gional de conflits complexes. Cette situation inclut la pr\u00e9sence persistante de groupes arm\u00e9s dans l\u2019est de la RDC, des relations diplomatiques fragiles entre \u00c9tats voisins et d\u2019importants d\u00e9fis humanitaires dus aux d\u00e9placements forc\u00e9s. Les s\u00e9quelles non r\u00e9solues du g\u00e9nocide de 1994 contre les Tutsis au Rwanda, les tensions interethniques au Burundi, la gouvernance fragile dans certaines zones de la RDC et la r\u00e9duction de l\u2019espace civique en Ouganda continuent de freiner les efforts de consolidation de la paix. Les jeunes et les femmes, bien qu\u2019essentiels \u00e0 la r\u00e9silience communautaire, restent largement exclus des processus officiels de paix et de prise de d\u00e9cision.<\/p>\n<p>En 2013, Interpeace et ses partenaires locaux ont consult\u00e9 les populations des Grands Lacs sur l\u2019orientation strat\u00e9gique qu\u2019un programme r\u00e9gional devrait adopter. Ces discussions ont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 une forte demande pour des dialogues transfrontaliers entre les communaut\u00e9s partageant les fronti\u00e8res, ainsi qu\u2019entre ces communaut\u00e9s et les d\u00e9cideurs politiques. Les r\u00e9centes escalades, telles que la r\u00e9surgence du mouvement M23 dans l\u2019est de la RDC, ont davantage fragilis\u00e9 la r\u00e9silience des communaut\u00e9s et soulign\u00e9 l\u2019urgence de mettre en \u0153uvre des initiatives de paix transfrontali\u00e8res inclusives, centr\u00e9es sur les voix locales, notamment celles des jeunes et des communaut\u00e9s marginalis\u00e9es.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8157,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"programmes":[68,75],"class_list":["post-8156","programme","type-programme","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","programmes-eastern-and-central-africa","programmes-great-lakes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Great Lakes - Interpeace<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The African Great Lakes region has experienced recurring cycles of violence and instability since the 1960s.
