Purpose

This project supports the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (CVJR) in order to implement the priority areas of its response strategy and action plan for stabilization in Mali. The project aims to increase the Commission’s capacity, especially that of the units responsible for truth seeking and investigations: 1) to support and make reparations to victims; 2) with respect to gender-related issues; 3) to hold public hearings; 4) to ensure widespread impact of this public process through a continued national communications campaign. The project supports the implementation of the Algiers Peace Agreement and complements the role played by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) in its efforts with the CVJR.
