GIJTR’s IMPACT
FROM THE GROUND UP
Members of the National Coalition to Support Reconciliation in Guinea (CONAREG) gather at a GIJTR workshop on gender justice and psychosocial support in May 2022. GIJTR supported the creation of CONAREG, which advocates for a holistic national reconciliation process in Guinea.
Through GIJTR’s long-term, multi-phased approach grounded in mutual trust and collaboration, 10 new networks have been formed comprising 145 civil society organizations in 23 countries. This has significantly expanded civil society capacity and space for peer-to-peer support and complementary programming. It also has produced a range of effective new initiatives advocating for transitional justice processes, new survivor-centered legislation, and public memorials to honor victims and survivors, among many other concrete impacts.
GIJTR builds the technical and administrative capacities of civil society organizations in 80 countries, equipping communities with new skills and strategies to shape and engage in both formal and informal transitional justice processes . Through new capacities developed in GIJTR programs, local civil society organizations can secure a range of new funding and other supports that lead to sustained impact over the long term. Since its founding, GIJTR has partnered with over 800 CSOs, conducting approximately 700 capacity-building workshops and 58 learning exchanges that reached over 42,000 participants. Participants in GIJTR’s African Youth Transitional Justice Academy engage in a dialogue facilitation exercise conducted during a capacity-building workshop in Rwanda in July 2019. The Academy brought together youth activists and civil society actors from seven countries in Africa to raise awareness of issues related to truth, justice and reconciliation.
