Region strategy: African Great Lakes Region 2004-2008 The strategy will apply from the date on which a government decision is taken to 31 December 2008. The focus and formulation of Swedens development cooperation is governed by the situation in the region and the cooperating countries. The current situation in the Great Lakes Region must be characterised as unstable and future developments are difficult to predict. Flexibility must therefore be the watchword for Swedens development cooperation in the region and with the cooperating countries. This strategy has been drawn up by Sida at the request of the Government. The process has involved consultations with the governments, civil society and the private sector in the countries concerned. Meetings with the interested parties were held in Stockholm. As a basis for work on the strategy, a regional conflict analysis and country analyses were carried out for Rwanda, DRC and Burundi. An analysis of results was compiled concerning Swedens development cooperation to date in the region and in the individual countries.
