Allamin Foundation for Peace and Development, Maiduguri, Borno state, Wednesday organised a one- day training workshop for 40 Community Advocates for Transitional Justice selected from 4 local government areas.
The facilitator who is also the Monitoring & Evaluation Consultant of Allamin Foundation for Peace and Development, Dr. Lawan Balami, introduced the topic of discussion and gave reasons or purpose of the workshop which is the orientation to be delivered.
He added that it was also aimed at gathering meaningful and formidable opinions, views, suggestions and recommendations from the CATJ participants as a way forward towards identifying and addressing the critical and major challenges and problems bedeviling the survivors and victims of conflict.
Dr. Balami noted that the 40 members selected for the training are CATJ members who are already engaged in reconciliation efforts in their respective local government areas with the sole objective of primarily broadening participant’s knowledge on survivors -centered approaches towards reconciliation and reintegration.
He also stated that one of the major reasons behind the assembly and discussions of the community stakeholders is to gather facts and recommendations for onward submission or presentation to the government for appropriate and proper documentation, response and implementation.
