| description |
The Central African Republic (CAR) is
coming out of a long period of political and social turmoil
that have left the country weak and with fragile
institutions. However, over the last few years the security
situation has improved and the state institutions have
started to stabilize. In order to improve on these
achievements, CAR needs to engage in a long process of
strengthening state and community based institutions while
ensuring that security is improved to show people a
reduction of violence relatively quickly. The 2011 World
Development Report (WDR) on conflict, security and
development sees the delivery of citizen security as central
to achieving resilience and returning to stability. This
study aims to better understand how people in CAR experience
justice and conflict resolution with the objective of
exploring opportunities to strengthen access to justice and
conflict resolution mechanisms in the country. The study has
carried out a field mapping of how the population is
handling issues of justice and conflict resolution at the
local level. The authors have also engaged government
officials, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), and local
experts in a series of workshop to discuss the findings of
the mapping and possible operational directions. Finally, on
the request of the government, the study has also included
an assessment of how issues of local and customary justice
where handled in other African countries with a longer
experience in this area. |
