Background and Rationale
The Forum of Parliaments of the Member Countries of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (FP-ICGLR) is an inter-parliamentary organization bringing together the national parliaments of twelve member countries of the ICGLR, namely: the Republic of Angola, the Republic of Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Rwanda, the Republic of South Sudan, the Republic of Sudan, the Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Uganda and the Republic of Zambia.
The PF-ICGLR was established on 4 December 2008 in Kigali, Rwanda, by the signing and ratification of the Inter-Parliamentary Agreement by the Speakers of Parliaments to promote, maintain and strengthen peace, security and development in the Great Lakes Region in accordance with the political will expressed by the respective Heads of State and Government in the Dar-es-Salaam Declaration signed in November 2004.
The Dar-es-Salaam Declaration led to the signing of the Pact on Stability, Security and Development of the Member Countries of the Great Lakes Region and the 10 Protocols by the Heads of State and Government, dated 15 December 2006 in Nairobi. The pact provides for the establishment of a Forum of Parliaments to play the role of overseeing the implementation of the ICGLR s programmes, projects and activities, thus paving the way for the establishment of the FP-ICGLR.
Areas of Intervention
The FP-ICGLR intervenes in following areas:
Democracy and Good Governance
Peace and Security
Humanitarian and Social Issues
Economic Development, Natural Resources and Regional Integration
Gender, Children and Vulnerable People
The five areas of intervention above also correspond to the five FP-ICGLR Commissions which are technically led by Programme Officers, but administrative and financial matters are handled by the Administrative and Financial Officer with the support of an Accountant and the Human Resources and Supply Officer.
As the current Accountants contract has expired, the General Secretariat of the FP-ICGLR is recruiting an Accountant for a fixed-term contract of two (2) years, renewable according to performance.
