From 29-31 October 2014, Fahamu is holding an Adilisha (To educate) Study Dialogue in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire. Fahamu will deepen the learning process of activists dealing with peace-building and conflict resolution for them to explore transitional justice mechanisms as they uniquely manifest themselves in Africa by examining their conceptual meaning and practical realities.
The Adilisha Study Dialogue will equip participants with the necessary analytical skills to understand the advocacy context so as to be able to develop strategies to strengthen African–based approaches to transitional justice. The dialogue will also focus on the root causes of Africa’s struggles to realise peace, conflict resolution and justice in four West African countries namely Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali by analysing their social, cultural, political and economic contexts and how they define the type, nature and approaches to advocacy and to resolving problems.
While acknowledging the influence of international approaches and opportunities for building solidarity and action from the local, national, continental and international levels, the dialogue will seek to emphasise local content, approaches and solutions to advocacy in order to bring about lasting solutions to African problems in relation to transitional justice.
