GIJTR’s holistic, innovative methodology has a cascading and overlapping effect on impacts. For instance, it reimagines and actualizes new approaches in the field of transitional justice, while at the same time it forges meaningful engagements with a wide range of stakeholders. For clarity and accessibility, this Summary Report highlights impacts on the three primary recipients of GIJTR programming: survivors and conflict-affected communities; civil society; and external spheres and actors.

Figure 1.1. A visual representation of GIJTR’s Theory of Change, which shows schematically the causal pathways through which GIJTR’s projects create impact. This evaluation tool is most useful to assess the impact of GIJTR’s country-specific projects. These are typically multi-phase and multi-year engagements, which aim to strengthen transitional justice processes in a particular context over time. In addition to this general overview, every GIJTR project has its own specific Theory of Change, which is often evaluated externally.
