What do you suggest as an effective communication strategy?
In suggesting what would be an effective communication strategy participants gave the
following pointers:
Communication must be time conscious and consistency;
Communication must have a broader approach through the use of visual
and oral communication;
Communication must address the needs of the targeted group
How do we use communication to motivate other stakeholders to be involved in the
transitional justice process?
In response the participants indicated that this can be done through:
Networking and awareness meeting
Reaching out to stakeholders;
Ensuring members have a sense of ownership and involvement in the
NTJWG’s activities;
Facilitating national dialogues with different stakeholders of transitional
justice;
Networking through focal persons representing different stakeholders;
Giving live updates on social media platforms of meetings in case other
stakeholders are absent;
Having international reach (UN, AU, SADC)
Opportunities and Challenges Faced in Engaging the NPRC and Implementing TJ Work in

challenges they face in engaging the NPRC and implementing transitional justice work.
Among the opportunities that were identified by the stakeholders were:
The establishment of the NPRC which appears to be accessible to stakeholders;
Some of the Commissioners of the NPRC are forthcoming to collaborate with
stakeholders;
