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.
