NPRC devolves its operations

THE National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) has said its provincial peace committees will be mandated to solve conflicts in their areas because a “one-size-fits all” approach has proved impractical.

The NPRC is setting up provincial peace committees countrywide to deal with past conflicts peculiar to their areas, and also facilitate peace-building processes.

This comes after the NPRC recently completed a 21-day outreach programme to gather citizens’ views on dealing with past conflicts.
