We are thrilled to share with you a preview of some very important work we have been engaged in for the past 18 months – our scholarship on oil and gas in the Lake Tanganyika basin and Africa’s Great Lakes region in general. With our eyes and ears on the ground over these past years, we quickly came to understand that these newly discovered and massive petroleum deposits would play a central role in the region, and in fact for the DR Congo as a whole, with respect to peace and security, development and human well-being, environment and fresh water issues, to name a few.
Please find one of our executive summaries focusing on the trans-boundary issues and Exploration & Production in the Great Lakes region. Additionally, we look at the issue through a variety of lenses including: Health and Civil Society, Security, Environment, and Corporate Partners.
Our goal in publishing this paper is to work with all appropriate stakeholders to bring transparency, good governance, local content, and dialogue about this crucial issue that heretofore has not been widely discussed in the public space. Please contact us if you’d like to learn more.
