Our project aims to strengthen the capacity of civil society and legal actors in Sudan as they participate in the transitional justice process. Individuals will be trained in international criminal law, international humanitarian law and human rights, and will be given the knowledge required to handle serious-crime cases that come before the courts, in a manner that is both competent and effective. The project seeks to enhance understanding of international criminal justice processes and the primacy of the Sudanese legal system as the courts of first instance.

This current Wayamo project which began in December 2016 aims to strengthen justice and accountability in Nigeria, and enhance domestic capacity to investigate and prosecute core international crimes and transnational organised crimes. The training seeks to enable Nigerian prosecutors to carry out the prosecution of complex international crimes in a genuine manner.

The “Fighting Impunity and Ensuring Accountability in East Africa” project is aimed at strengthening the rule of law and the capacity to deal effectively with complex and transnational crimes through the provision of further training for investigators, prosecutors and judges. The Wayamo Foundation and the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability (AGJA) have been applying their expertise, knowledge and experience in four countries, namely, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

In order to support the establishment and full operationalisation of the Special Criminal Court of the Central African Republic, the Wayamo Foundation and the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability (AGJA) held international symposia and workshops to raise awareness about its significance and importance, and the need to build domestic capacities.

Between 2013–2015 the Wayamo Foundation provided specialised training and capacity building in investigating and prosecuting international crimes as defined by the Rome Statute and the Kenyan International Crimes Act (for example, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide), and transnational crimes, such as organised crime, piracy, terrorism, wildlife crimes, cybercrime, human trafficking, money-laundering and counterfeiting.
