Young people have a crucial role to play in breaking intergenerational cycles of conflict and impunity. They are not only potential victims of violence, but can be powerful agents for change.
This is why meaningful youth inclusion and participation is so important for transitional justice processes, and efforts to build sustainable peace in societies recovering from violent conflict. The challenge is to engage young people in a meaningful way, and to connect them with local and national decision makers.
We aim to make this happen through our regional partnership with the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR).
About CSVR
The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) is a multi-disciplinary organization whose vision is to understand and prevent violence, heal its effects, and build sustainable peace at community, national, and regional (continental) levels.
Over the past 30 years, CSVR has engaged with partners (national, regional, and international) to promote effective transitional justice processes in a range of countries, through regional mechanisms as well as in global forums. CSVR has provided technical support to the African Union policy-making organs for the development of continental policies on transitional justice for victims including the African Union Transitional Justice Policy (AUTJP).
