"I still believe there is good in all people: an evaluation of the Alternatives to Violence Project in Rwanda"
A publication by the African Great Lakes Initiative, Nov 2003
To settle many of the low-level cases arising from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda,
the Rwandan government has chosen to use a truth and reconciliation process
using the Gacaca system of traditional village arbitration courts.
AVP workshops have been used in the training of Gacaca judges and administrators,
as well as for community elders and the general Rwandan community.
It also has a carry-on effect on the mundane conflicts that arise in the family and the community.
This report evaluates the effectiveness of the program in Rwanda.
