IRD Activities

• Justice and Reconciliation in Africa Programme

  Through collaboration, exchange, and dialogue, the programme seeks to build partnerships that support critical research, capacity-building in post-conflict situations, and the development of policy initiatives. Activities focusing on interreligious dialogue include a three-way public dialogue between Jewish, Christian and Muslim leaders from Cape Town, a signing of a manifesto acknowledging complicity in the Rwandan genocide and agreeing on a three-point plan of action to counter ethnic division and promote reconciliation in Rwanda through churches and mosques, support and expertise at two conferences on the invitation of the South African Embassy in Kigali (an interfaith dialogue on the role for religion in the reconciliation process) and a reconciliation training workshop for parliamentarians.
