AMECEA: The AMECEA Pastoral Strategic Plan to be ready by Next AMECEA Plenary
AMECEA Secretariat is preparing a ten-year ‘Pastoral Strategic Plan’ that will be tabled for approval in the next AMECEA Plenary Assembly to be held in
Malawi in July 2014. The idea of having ten years Pastoral Strategic Plan was
resolved during the last AMECEA plenary held in Nairobi, Kenya in the year
2011.
Information
from AMECEA Secretary General’s office
says that the venture has not only been necessitated by the ending
of the previous plan but also by the pressing demand to keep adjusting
implementation strategies in order to suit the contemporary evangelization
requirements as stipulated in the document “Africae
Munus” and the Synod for New Evangelization. The idea is to develop
a Pastoral Strategic Plan that will also address all the challenges facing the
pastoral mission of AMECEA Region as addressed in Africae Munus – Papal document.

To kick off the process, AMECEA
Secretariat in collaboration with Catholic Relief Service (CRS-
Nairobi regional Office) and Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) formed a team to carry out an evaluation on the implementation of the Africae Munus. The team, which has been meeting since July 2013 has come up with questionnaires on the Implementation of Africae Munus, which have been sent to AMECEA Conferences’ Secretaries General.

In addition, another set of questionnaires will be sent to AMECEA Bishops, Partners and collaborators as well as AMECEA Departments in order to gather vital information that will provide guiding principles, norms and
preoccupations of conferences in AMECEA regions in their vision and mission and
have them contained in the devised AMECEA implementation strategies.
The report of the finding will be
presented to the AMECEA Secretaries general’s meeting in October before a draft
written and approved by AMECEA Executive Board in March next year. The document
will be presented to all the bishops during the 18th AMECEA Plenary
Assembly July next year in Malawi.
