ABOUT THIS REPORT
The Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation On the eve of its tenth anniversary, the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation (GIJTR, or the Consortium) worked with evaluation consultant Simon Robins to examine the depth and breadth of GIJTR’s impact in its first decade of programming. The following summary of findings, drawn from the full report, highlights many of the ways GIJTR revolutionizes traditional approaches to transitional justice through its flexible and context-specific lens. In particular, a lens that prioritizes the experiences and expertise of survivors and post-conflict communities by building their capacity to lead local and national initiatives that demand accountability, secure rights for all and foster more peaceful and just societies. The summary also focuses on the varied ways that GIJTR has impacted three primary groups: victims and affected communities, civil society and external spheres and actors (including the transitional justice field more generally). While GIJTR’s work is intentionally designed to meet the different needs of local settings, this report points to common impacts across GIJTR programs that have transformed the lives of tens of thousands affected by conflict worldwide, as well as the individuals and organizations seeking to support them. It is GIJTR’s hope that this summary will assist practitioners, civil-society organizations, policymakers, donors and others in the fields of transitional justice, peacebuilding and violence prevention in designing and supporting similar methodologies and mechanisms in the future.
