Driven by questions on reconciliation from the field, CJR started its applied research on reconciliation with a desk study of literature on the subject from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Preliminary results of the applied research were used in workshops in Sudan, Uganda and the DRC. With encouraging results, as it proved its applicability and usefulness.

One of the partners referred to it as follows:
"I have not come across a piece of information like this before, where you get an overview of all the issues that play a role. It is very clarifying and helpful as it serves as a checkpoint for seeing where we are and where we should head in Sudan. This model is very relevant and applicable to our situation. This type of analysis and further understanding is what we need to advance reconciliation in Sudan"
