The first post-Covid meeting of the Southern African Regional Forum (SARF) comprising members of the ACT Alliance took place in Johannesburg in June. More than forty representatives of faith-based organisations and churches deliberated on the challenges facing the region, and resolved to increase collaboration in response to climate change, gender violence, and the assault on poor and marginal communities. The representatives from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique, and Malawi, were joined by partners from Germany and Norway, and together they engaged with the organisation’s General Secretary and the Africa Representative on how to strengthen the Alliance. A new committee was selected to guide the work of the Alliance and to take forward resolutions of the meeting. You can access pictures for the event here.
