3. 0 The Nature and Structure of the NTJWG
The consultative meeting of stakeholders, on 27th February 2014, established the model
structure for the NTJWG. It was agreed that the NTJWG would be structured around 5
thematic areas: Promotion of Truth, Justice and Accountability, Reparations and Guarantees of
Non-Recurrence, Memorialisation and Gender. In addition, it was agreed that there would
be three independent experts to support the different thematic areas and also on the
areas that may not fit into any specific themes. The strategic planning meeting, which
followed on 30 and 31 July 2014, added the 6th thematic area of Institutional Reforms
and allocated one of the independent experts to head it. The NTJWG elected its
Chairperson and Deputy for a period of 12 months. The Chairperson is the
spokesperson of the NTJWG. The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum will be the
secretariat for the NTJWG.
