Our first special project is a collaborative effort to prevent genocide in the African Great Lakes Region. We are using the Governance Commons to assemble a genocide prevention knowledge base that empowers collaborations between:

- Ted Perlmutter at Columbia University,

These individuals and organizations will go beyond participation in the Commons' various online discussions, comments, and announcement systems; they will offer either original material written specifically for the Commons or help in integrating their online publications into the Commons framework.
