European Network for Central Africa (EurAc)

Member Description

    European Network for Central Africa (EurAc) was created in 2003. The EurAc gathers member organisations from civil society in several European countries. These organisations work on and in the Great Lakes region in Africa and wish to tackle the structural causes of under-development and instability in the region. They support civil society organisations in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda in their efforts to promote peace, the respect of human rights and development by making local voices heard and taken into consideration by European Union (EU) policy and decision-makers at all levels. EurAc’s mission is to carry out advocacy towards the EU to contribute to the development and the implementation, by the EU and its members states, of strong and coherent policies promoting peace, inclusive political participation, the sustainable and equitable management of natural resources and the full respect of human rights in the Great Lakes region   For more information, please contact Brune Mercier
