STAKEHOLDERS CONFERENCE on TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE PRINCIPLES IN ZIMBABWE CONFERENCE REPORT AUGUST 2015 the Offender (ZACRO) and Musasa Project have worked diligently to ensure that the stories of victims do not remain hidden from the light. There are many efforts cutting across the thematic areas of transitional justice. This work did not start in May 2014 when the NTJWG was established. It has been the struggle of many actors reaching far back into the colonial era. In May 2014, following the recommendations of the First and Second International Conferences on Transitional Justice in Zimbabwe in 2012 and 2013, stakeholders decided to put in place a platform for coordinating transitional justice strategy across the six thematic areas. This was born of the realisation that despite many brave efforts of different stakeholders, there is a need to build a stronger coalition for truth, justice and accountability from the combined efforts of all stakeholders. As such, the NTJWG was given as precise mandate: To create an inclusive space for the coordination of transitional justice stakeholders, share experiences; build synergies for comprehensive, accountable, victim- centred and participatory transitional justice processes in Zimbabwe. From this mandate, the NTJWG's eight members worked on a tenyear strategic plan along six focus goals in the six thematic areas. (National Transitional Justice Working Group Zimbabwe, 2014) The goals are the following: 10 l To promote the principles and processes of national truthseeking l To promote the principles and processes of national accountability and justice l To catalyse the development and implementation of a victim-centred reparations policy in Zimbabwe l To contribute to the development of a national narrative and commemorations of our past
