About Initiative for Transitional Justice in Africa 2024

The Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund (ATJLF) is pleased to announce this call to elicit proposals from civil society organizations, community-based and victim-led groups, working to advance truth, justice and reconciliation in countries emerging from conflict across Africa.

This call is part of a European Union and African Union joint initiative, the Initiative for Transitional Justice in Africa (ITJA), a project launched in October 2023 and focused on the implementation of innovative transitional justice initiatives that are guided by principles and provisions of the Africa Transitional Justice Policy Framework (AUTJP) and its accompanying roadmap.

Program Details

The ITJA aims to support the popularization and implementation of the African Union Transitional Justice Policy by providing technical and financial support to civil society organizations and local groups to implement TJ initiatives that are informed by the AUTJP.

This initiative primarily seeks to empower victims, marginalized groups, and communities affected by conflict to achieve accountability, justice, redress, reconciliation, and sustainable peace. The ATJLF in partnership with the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) and the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) form a consortium of organizations supporting civil society and state actors in the implementation of the AUTJP in transitional justice processes on the continent.
