EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This executive summary describes a study of over sixty restorative justice projects in South Africa. It finds that while some quality activity exists across multiple sectors, it is insufficient to meet demand and is hindered by a lack of proper funding.

• The study identified more than sixty projects relevant to the implementation of restorative justice in South Africa, which are reported on a provincial basis in the main text.
• The authors conclude that while there are some areas of high-quality activity across various sectors—including probation, correctional services, civil society, traditional leaders, victim support, child care, and family law—these efforts are insufficient to meet actual needs and are severely limited by a lack of proper funding arrangements.
