For the people who suffer most from genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, and who too often are forgotten (& OFTEN WOMEN & GIRLS), the Rome Statute created the Trust Fund for Victims, having two mandates: (i) to implement Court-ordered reparations; and (ii) to provide physical and psychosocial rehabilitation or material support to victims of crimes within the jursidiction of the International Criminal Court.

Created in 2002 under the
Rome Statute, the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) is the first of its kind in the
global movement to end impunity and promote justice. The TFV mission is to
support programmes that address the harms resulting from the crimes under the
jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) by assisting victims to
return to a dignified and contributory life within their communities. To
achieve this, the Fund has a two-fold mandate: (1) to administer reparations
ordered by the ICC against a convicted person, and (2) to use other resources
for the benefit of victims subject to the provisions of article 79 of the Rome Statute.
In 2012, TFV
released a Request for Proposals for an evaluation of on-going TFV programmes
in northern Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The aims of
this evaluation were to: * Determine
significance and assess impact of the programmes; * Identify areas for strengthening and
improvement of the programmes; * Provide
evidence-based recommendations to inform the design of the next TFV Strategic
Plan and finalization of country programme strategies.
