The Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund (ATJLF), is a three-year grant-making initiative that seeks to support community-based, survivor-led transitional justice projects and processes in seven West African countries. The fund was established by the MacArthur Foundation and another US-based private foundation, to provide transformative and impactful interventions in transitional justice processes in Africa.

The fund will support civil society and local authorities in the selected countries within the sub-region to explore effective transitional justice solutions to addressing victims’ and survivors’ needs through: transformative reparation initiatives; advocating for perpetrators’ accountability; embarking on sustained actions to foster reconciliation; promoting social cohesion; and advancing institutional reforms.

The ATJLF is Afro-centric and will support context-driven initiatives that empower civil society and communities to engage with governments to address wrongs of the past, promote justice for victims affected by conflicts and violence, and advance sustainable peacebuilding and good governance.

The Fund is hosted by the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG), based in Accra, Ghana and is being administered by a Secretariat.
