MRCG Engages Campaign for Good Governance on Advancing Advocacy for a National Transitional Justice Policy Framework for Sierra Leone.

By MRCG

Under its project, “Engaging Media and Communities to Change the Narrative on Transitional Justice Issues in Sierra Leone,” supported by the Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund (ATJLF), the MRCG has engaged the leadership of Campaign for Good Governance (CGG), for the advancement of advocacy for the development of a National Transitional Justice Policy Framework for Sierra Leone.

The policy framework, which, by all indications, is crucial for Sierra Leone, especially in the context of the country’s history of civil conflict (1991–2002), provides a structured, inclusive, and sustainable approach to addressing past human rights violations and promoting long-term peace and reconciliation.

The Programs Director, Mrs. Bernadette French, told MRCG that CGG had initiated conversations around the development of a policy framework on TJ for Sierra Leone, taking into account the various engagements with policy makers and other institutions. She recounted her personal commitment to the process leading to two meetings which were successful at the time, noting that TJ is an ongoing process which needs commitment and support for overall success.
