Transitional Justice and Peace Basket Fund Transitional Justice and Peace Basket Fund IOM applied to Sida for funding of 11.66 MSEK to carry out the “Transitional Justice and Peace Basket Fund Project” during the period 2016-2017.
The Transitional Justice and Peace Basket Fund has the goal of contributing to an effective institutional response for the implementation of the mechanisms of transitional justice and civil society education on peace building and the Havana Agreements. This will be achieved by: 
-Reinforcing the Victim´s Unit, FGN, Congress and Ministry of Foreign Affairs skills and logistical resources for the implementation of the Victim´s Law 
-Delivering technical inputs needed for the institutional design of transitional justice mechanisms agreed in Havana
-Developing communication skills in peace building with journalists and socializing the Havana Agreements among networks of civil society 
The projects funded have a duration of 12 months. This limited time scope is due to the nature of the projects and the context in which they develop; a transition scenario where specific measures need to be taken for the preparation of the implementation of the peace agreements. 
The basket fund will finance ten projects that target to the goal described above and it will be administered by IOM. The project has a total cost of 13,3 MSEK of which the Embassy will cover 11.7 MSEK (87,7%) and IOM will finance 1,6 MSEK (12,3%).
