Regional Initiatives in East & Southern Africa
JCoR facilitates capacity-building workshops and collective advocacy efforts among its member congregations and our partners in the East and Southern African region comprised of Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Our activities build upon the common ground and prophetic call of all charisms: to bring about the reign of God through work toward the common good.
Criteria for Participation
Because collaboration among congregations is an essential element of our effort to contribute in a new way to long-term systemic change, JCoR workshops are open to members of all congregations of Catholic women and men Religious who are present in the region, as well as their partners in ministry. JCoR seeks to have representatives from as many congregations as possible. We believe this approach will allow for ongoing relationship building among congregations and between our common mission and the effective implementation of the SDGs.
Costs of Participation
All participants will be asked to cover the costs of their transportation to and from dialogues or other in-person meetings. The coalition will cover all other expenses.
