As the mission of the ISSRPL takes root in the work of past Fellows, collaborative relationships have resulted in the development of Affiliate Schools.

Equator Peace Academy
The Equator Peace Academy (EPA) is an international academy (summer school) designed to confront thematic issues in selected countries of the Great Lakes Region of Africa.

The 2012 program—Whose Community? Memory, Conflict and Tradition—was held 2-15 December in Uganda and Rwanda. The next program, planned for 2014, will be held in Uganda and South Sudan.
