AACC Showcases Impact and Strengthens Collaboration During its 2025 Partners Consultation

On 3rd June 2026, the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) convened its annual partners consultation to reflect on achievements realized in 2025, share updates, and strengthen collaborations. The meeting was held online. Presenting the AACC 2025 Annual Report, the General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Fidon Mwombeki highlighted key milestones across governance, membership development, mission work and financial sustainability. He noted the fellowship's growing efforts to accompany churches and communities through localized capacity-building initiatives and advocacy programmes across the continent.

Among the major developments shared was the construction of the new Desmond Tutu Conference Centre in Nairobi, which is being developed under the Best Western hotel franchise while remaining fully owned and managed by AACC. The project is expected to contribute significantly to the fellowship's long-term financial sustainability.

Participants also received updates on the Master of Theology and Ecumenical Leadership programme, which is transitioning to St. Paul's University in Kenya, as well as ongoing work on climate justice, youth empowerment, peacebuilding, reparations, decolonization, and artificial intelligence.

Partners commended AACC's commitment to implementing programmes beyond Nairobi and praised its proactive approach to peacebuilding and community engagement. Discussions further explored opportunities for stronger collaboration in engaging people living with disability, diaspora engagement, youth programmes, and resource mobilization.

The consultation concluded with renewed commitments to partnership and a shared vision of advancing peace, justice, dignity, and sustainable development across Africa through the collective witness and action of churches.
