Objectives of the Taking Transitional Justice to the People can be chronicled as follows;1. Training The overall purpose of the training component of the project is to create awareness amongst ordinary Zimbabweans on what Transitional Justice is about. The specific objectives would be to train participants on:- 2. a) The nature and history of transitional justice. b) The aims and objectives of transitional justice mechanisms and c) The options and challenges of transitional justice within the Zimbabwean context. Consultation d) The overall purpose of the consultative component of the project is to consult, collect and collate, from the people of Zimbabwe in areas that have historically been affected by politically motivated violence, informed public opinion on the desired transitional justice model to be adopted in the transitional setting. e) The Consultative meetings would be conducted shortly after the conclusion of the training and would draw participants from the training component of the programme. f) The training is aimed at empowering the participants to effectively take part in the debate on transitional justice. 3. Involvement and participation in the constitutional making process g) It was the Forum's belief and hope that the Zimbabwean public would be able to respond and debate on these and other issues more meaningfully for possible inclusion in the proposed new constitution when the public consultation sessions envisaged in the political agreement (Article 6.1.ii) start. It would be prudent to have an enlightened Zimbabwean public to engage such state-centric processes that are most likely going to exclude civil society. 3
