Leadership Formation
Under this program, CAPA’s core function is to build the capacity of Bishops, through training opportunities and information sharing. This is because Bishops are strategically placed in communities and have the potential to unlock people from their spiritual and socio-economic bondages towards a life of dignity and total well-being.
The strategic objective under the leadership formation program is to increase capacity of church leaders to provide compassionate leadership in a rapidly changing context in which they serve in a manner that enables the community to unlock their potentials. Provincial and diocesan teams work hand in hand with the bishops and are key in these processes.
CAPA envisages member Provinces to model compassionate and competent leadership. As such the council will popularize mechanisms of peer review processes as means of promoting experience sharing and learning while providing mutual support amongst provinces. The key result areas under the leadership formation are capacity building in transformative leadership, development and facilitation of ongoing theological reflections. The following outputs are expected from the leadership formation program;
- Increased capacity for the church leaders and institutions responding to the needs of the community;
- Communities attains self sustainability and development through proper program design, management and evaluation;
