The content is informed by ongoing research being carried out by NPI-Africa and the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP). Focusing specifically on respondent’s expectations and perceptions, the research aims at drawing out lessons from transitional justice experiences in Africa, in particular the increasingly popular TRC approach. The research examined three countries that have concluded their TRCs or equivalents (Ghana, Sierra Leone and South Africa), one that is in the process of implementing (Liberia) and two that are still considering setting up TRCs (DRC, Kenya). Respondents were drawn from a wide sample of victims, experts, former commissioners, civil society actors, government officials, perpetrators, individuals who gave testimonies or submitted statements to the commissions, relatives of victims, care professionals and researchers, among others.Text1 digital file (15 p.)enPEACE RESEARCHCONFLICT RESOLUTIONADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICERECONCILIATIONGHANASIERRA LEONESOUTH AFRICATRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSIONTruth and reconciliation commissions and transitional justice in Africa : lessons and implications for Kenya ; background paperPolicy Brief
