The African Transitional Justice Research Network (ATJRN) aims to build the capacity of local level researchers and civil society organizations in African countries so that they can effectively inform and evaluate transitional justice mechanisms; strengthen human rights advocacy; and address the obstacles which hamper knowledge sharing amongst civil society on the African continent.

ATJRN is an initiative of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) , the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and the Refugee Law Project, University of Makerere, Uganda.

The Network has four main elements:

• the ATJRN website;
• a listserv which networks individuals in the transitional justice field internationally to facilitate dialogue and the sharing of research and knowledge;
• a quarterly e-newsletter which will be a digest of new information on the website, key debates from the listserv and regional transitional justice related developments.
• capacity building workshops on transitional justice research to be conducted in various regions across the African continent

This website houses:

• up to date information on workshops, conferences, university courses, funding opportunities; 
• links to other relevant sites on transitional justice topics and research resources;
• a literature review of transitional justice related research in both English and French;
• details of organizations doing transitional justice related work on the African continent;
• information on the ATJRN capacity building workshops for civil society;
• archives of the TJNetwork listserv.
