Let us know you will attend – at the Facebook event 

 
The lecture will focus on the story of the genocide against The Tutsi, and the Rwanda’s journey of rebuilding after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi through justice, forgiveness, healing, unity, and reconciliation, as well as good cooperation with good partners to reach the number of milestones/achievements through a transformation journey, with focus on social protection programs.
 
The lecture will elaborate on the complex societal issues that led to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and its wake, the difficulties in bringing together a society that had experienced unimaginable atrocities. Focusing on accountability, Rwandans were reconciled through a process of participatory justice which allowed members of each community to play a key role and ultimately led to justice, repentance, forgiveness, and national unity.
 
This lecture will be held in English.
