About Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR)

The Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) was launched in the year 2000, in the aftermath of South Africa´s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The aim was to ensure that lessons learnt from South Africa´s transition from apartheid to democracy were taken into account as the nation moved ahead. Today, the Institute helps to build fair, democratic and inclusive societies in Africa through carefully selected engagements and interventions. With uncompromising excellence at the core of its work, IJR has earned a reputation for high-quality research, bold policy suggestions, and reconciliation work with impact on the ground. IJR employs a diverse and professional staff. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is the Institute's longstanding patron. The organisation has a well-established track record of sound corporate governance, and has enjoyed steady growth over the past decade.
