When designing and implementing programmes, Justice Africa consults with communities and civil society to ensure that its programmes are locally-owned. It also encourages participation of all stakeholders that are involved in a programme, so that they can influence the decision making process, which affects them. Justice Africa operates impartially and has only one objective: to sustain peace.
