Agenda 14 - 20 Mei 2017

Transitional justice operates in contexts where the rule of law has failed. Transitional justice stands out in the global peacebuilding project as the primary avenue used by global actors to address the effects of conflict. It carries weight in peacebuilding processes due to its ability to provide political remedy to past injustices through present justice. What remains problematic is the instrumentalization of the liberal peacebuilding framework to attain political goals that do not serve the interests and values of local communities. I interrogate transitional justice using three case countries in Sub-Saharan Africa - Burundi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe - where peacebuilding processes have sustained a liberal peacebuilding framework.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Netherlands Association for Africa Studies (NVAS), NVAS, NUFFIC and HHS are organizing a two-day conference on the theme “Education for life in Africa”, assuming that quality education will indeed equip students better for life, but wondering about what constitutes good quality education. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for education stakeholders in Africa – researchers, practitioners, teachers, policymakers, sponsors and consumers – to exchange ideas about how to attain and sustain quality at all levels of education in Africa, from the basic to the tertiary level, from academic to vocational training.
