Joint NGO Briefing Paper, December 2010.

The spread of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) beyond Uganda is undermining stability across Central Africa.

To better protect vulnerable communities and undermine the LRA, Central African governments should collaborate to extend communications and infrastructure to remote areas, enhance information sharing, and deter and respond to attacks through mobile, proactive deployments.
