Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer At RCN Justice and Democracy

DESCRIPTION OF THE NGO

RCN Justice & Démocratie (RCN J&D) is a Belgian NGO created in 1994, active in supporting justice and conflict prevention. RCN J&D defends the idea that justice is a pillar of living together , a lever for social transformation and that there are a plurality of models of justice . To serve society and individuals, justice must adapt to the social, economic and cultural contexts in which it is deployed, it must be accessible to all and establish positive standards and practices guaranteeing freedoms and equality before the court. law.

This vision of justice pushes us to value, beyond the judicial response, all the mechanisms capable of lastingly resolving conflicts and meeting the reparation needs of victims (mediation-conciliation, restorative justice, transitional justice, etc.) . In the context of African societies, the NGO pays particular attention to legal pluralism (law/custom), to a constructive articulation between customary justice and judicial justice and to the development of a justice system that is more honest and respectful of human rights. RCN J&D also carries out work on the memory of international crimes and more broadly on raising awareness of conflict prevention.

The NGO is currently active in 6 countries: Belgium, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
