The 18 Field Briefs arising from field-trips to 20 districts can be accessed at www.
beyondjuba.org/NRTJA/index.php, and detail community conflict narratives and
perspectives on transitional justice mechanisms. On the basis of the Field Briefs a twoday
validation exercise was held. This included representatives from all the visited
districts, from civil society in Kampala, and the researchers who had participated in
the NRTJ Audit field-work. The Compendium incorporates the findings of the validation
workshop. Analysis has been further informed by research conducted in the course of
the Beyond Juba Project, and participant observation by Beyond Juba Project staff in
numerous Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) meetings.
In writing this Compendium of Conflicts, the authors were led by observations and
information with regards to conflicts that surfaced during the field research. Whereas
in the Field Briefs the conflict descriptions were solely based on information provided
by participants, in the Compendium of Conflicts this was further supplemented with
secondary sources (articles, books, websites and media coverage), to provide further
background and detail with regards to those conflicts identified during the field research.
At no point were conflicts added that did not surface during field research, even where
secondary sources indicated the existence of such conflicts. Where information from
secondary sources is added, this is clearly referenced.
