The Wayamo Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation established to strengthen the rule of law, promote international criminal justice and foster transparency through informed journalism.
Wayamo does this by:
• Building the capacity of national judicial systems that address crimes of concern to the international community
• Providing education for legal practitioners, journalists and the public
• Advocating for transparency and accountability, often in post-conflict settings
• Facilitating and supporting dialogue between civil society and government leaders.
Wayamo was founded in 2010 in Madrid, Spain, and began by training journalists and editors in conflict sensitive reporting on justice and accountability issues in Kenya, Liberia and Uganda. From its beginnings, Wayamo consisted of African, European and Latin American staff, with deep expertise in investigative journalism, international criminal law, and conflict sensitive reporting.
In 2012 Wayamo expanded into judicial capacity building, beginning with advice and training for the International and Organised Crimes Division in the High Court of Kenya. At the same time, the Wayamo Team expanded to include legal, academic, research and multimedia expertise and the organisation’s headquarters moved to Berlin, Germany.
In 2015, Wayamo launched the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability, an independent group of senior African experts on international criminal law and human rights, including political figures, members of international and domestic tribunals, and human rights advocates experts.
The Africa Group supports efforts to strengthen justice and accountability measures in Africa through domestic and regional capacity building, advice and outreach, and enhancing cooperation between Africa and the International Criminal Court. The Wayamo Foundation is the group’s secretariat and convener.
