This one-day forum on people-centered justice in Africa will bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, including policymakers, civil society organizations, legal practitioners, researchers, donors, and representatives from marginalized communities, for a day of interactive dialogue and shared learning. The event will feature a mix of keynote addresses, panel discussions, and participatory breakout sessions designed to surface practical solutions, highlight innovative approaches, and strengthen collaboration across sectors. With an emphasis on inclusion and meaningful engagement, the forum aims to deepen understanding of people-centered justice approaches and foster collective strategies to advance equitable and effective justice systems in Africa. Special attention will be given to exploring how justice reform and community-based approaches can act as preventive tools against conflict, build trust in institutions, and strengthen social resilience.

​A key outcome of the forum will be the promotion of the adoption of a Joint Declaration on People-Centered Justice in Africa, articulating shared commitments, strategic priorities, and concrete actions to advance justice for all. The event will also mark the launch of the Africa Regional Report on People-Centered Justice, offering fresh insights and evidence to inform policy and practice across the continent. Through these milestones, the conference will help strengthen networks and partnerships, mobilizing knowledge, resources, and coordinated support for people-centered justice initiatives. By connecting justice to peacebuilding and resilience goals, the forum will also position people-centered justice as an essential pillar of sustainable peace and stability in Africa.
