UN Peacebuilding Fund Support Office - Supporting War Victims to regain their dignity

In it's final report of 2004, the TRC as part of its recommendations requested the Government to provide reparations to non combatant victims of the conflict. It emphasised that "failure to ensure the provision of such reparations entails the risk of fuelling anger among the population, as the victims' fate will stand in stark contrast to that of former combatants who received financial assistance and training as part of DDR years ago. This will have consequences for national reconciliation" it noted.
