The Levy Mwanawasa Regional Centre for Democracy, Good Governance is a Regional Think Tank located in Lusaka, Zambia. It was created by the Heads of State and Government of eleven Member States of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) in December 2006 as a key institution for the promotion of Democracy, Good Governance, Human Rights and Civic Education. Its establishment epitomised the realisation of the will expressed by the Heads of State and Government of ICGLR Member States in the Pact on Security, Stability and Development signed in Nairobi on December 15, 2006.

Since its operationalisation in 2011, LMRC provides an evidence-based foundation to the ICGLR’s Programme of Action on the promotion of Good Governance and Democracy through Operational and Multi-disciplinary Research and Analysis on Governance processes, Peace and Security promotion at the Local, National and Regional levels, in the Great Lakes Region.
