The following report was written by Zochrot's resource development coordination. The information was collected from Zochrot's ongoing performance chart for 2012 and from discussions with the organization's director and the project coordinators; the coordinators also brought with them to these discussions feedback received from the projects' target audience during the period of this interim project.
Zochrot had come to an understanding that it must grow from a movement form of an organization to a mature form of an organization almost 10 years after its establishment. Zochrot completed a process at November 2012 an organizational consultation in order to look in depth and with professional facilitation into issues of capacity building for the organization. This process involved the staff, the board and key volunteers. The process of PME assisted in developing and producing Zochrot's vision, values and mission; formulation of clear objectives, indicators, outcomes and impact; linking between Zochrot vision and its various programs. We are most confident that the process and that this change in Zochrot will make us a much mature and stable organization.
Transitional Justice Practicalities ‐ As part of our Strategic planning for 2013‐2015 Zochrot decided to take a further step deepening the work within the paradigm of transitional Justice in Israel‐Palestine in promoting Truth | Justice | and Reparation and advancing acknowledgment, accountability and responsibility of the Israeli Public to the ongoing crimes of the Nakba for the past 65 years and the return of the Palestinian Refugees. In the frame of promoting the Transitional Justice paradigm we have initiated a new training to civic human rights and peace organizations in Israel on Transitional Justice ‐ The course started on the 12.12.12 with over 20 participants from different NGOS such as: Adalah, PHR, ACRI, Amnesty, Aasaf, Yesh Din, Hand in Peace, School for Peace in Neve Shalom, Green Action and more. The course is Facilitated by Dr. Sigal Horowitz who established the program on Transitional studies in the Minerva Center for Human Rights institute in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
