“One of my priorities is to position Caritas as the organized service of charity by promoting local leadership, ecumenical cooperation, and then working closely with actors from other like-minded religious groups, synodality or communion,” Ms Lucy Afandi Espila, the Executive Secretary of Caritas Africa has said.
Ms Espila was elected by delegates from the 46 member organizations of Caritas Africa meeting in Rome for the 10th Regional General Assembly from May 7 to 10, to discuss the future of Caritas in Africa and the efforts of mutual understanding and cooperation for common paths of development.
