African Great Lakes Research Consortium

The African Great Lakes Research Consortium is a collaborative organization dedicated to studying and protecting the interconnected lakes of East Africa, such as Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi. It involves scientists, policymakers, and communities working together to understand these lakes’ ecology, water quality, and how they impact local economies and health. The consortium aims to promote sustainable management, address environmental challenges like pollution and invasive species, and share knowledge to support the long-term health of these vital freshwater resources for millions of people.
