OURACHIEVEMENTS SUPPORTINGLOCALINITIATIVES

Our SCMs are the heart of our organisation, and much of the work we do is aimed at empowering members of SCMs to bring forward change in their communities, to become leaders and promoters of ecumenism, social action and human rights. In 2018-19, we went out of our way to support SCMs, both through our capacity-building and ecumenical leadership trainings, but also through encouraging and supporting local initiatives. In 2018, we offered funding to SCMs and worked with them to organise local events focused on country-specific social issues. In 2019, we encouraged and supported SCMs to research and reflect on the issues that characterised their local contexts, and also to organise events that aimed to find solutions to those challenges.
