| Rwanda is coming out a legal process started in 2003 and based on widespread public participation (Gacacas juridictions). This process involved the survivors reliving the traumas linked to the 1994 genocide which killed more than a million people. MdM is helping the organisation IBUKA to provide psychological support to survivors.

Medical and psychological support for genocide survivors.
Kigali, Buhoro, Kibeho, Gatonde, Kibilizi, Busogo and Musanze sectors - Long term
ACTIVITIESThe project is concerned with the psychological and social recovery of survivors of the Rwandan genocide. The victims involved in the Gacacas receive support via therapeutic outreach groups to deal with traumas and to develop social links. The programme also aims to develop the skills of medical and paramedical staff (training, exchange of best practices and capitalisation on experience). MdM provides institutional support to IBUKA on collaboration methods..
OUTLOOKIn 2011, after the Gacacas have finished, the programme will be expanded to other actors in the mental health field working with survivors. A forum for exchange will be set up, involving all relevant stakeholders from civil society and institutions.
