Located in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Official University of Bukavu (UOB) is an essential partner of GLOGORENA. This academic institution is distinguished by its commitment to producing knowledge tailored to local needs while forming a new generation of leaders in the social and political sciences.

The collaboration between GLOGORENA and the UOB translates into exploratory missions, workshops and conferences, allowing a deeper understanding of local governance dynamics. During a visit in November 2024, the GLOGORENA team was able to interact with UOB researchers on socio-anthropological issues related to the exploitation of natural resources, thus strengthening the synergy between academic research and field action.
