SECAM strategic advocacy planning workshop The recently agreed Sustainable Development goals and the AU 2063 agenda will be significant in influencing African country and donor policies and spending over the next generation at national and local level. 

SECAM therefore will call together 30 leaders from across the continent, including representatives of National Justice and Peace and Caritas groups, regional conferences, and theologians to develop an advocacy strategy at continental level that will determine priority issues for engagement and will establish better coordination mechanisms at national, regional and continental level. 

The specific objectives for the design, running and follow up to the meeting
i.	To develop a clear advocacy strategy at AU and Nation and Regional levels for engaging with the implementation of the AU Agenda 2063, SDGs and Climate Change Agreement.
ii.	To create strong working relationships with National and Regional Conferences which will enable better information flow and advocacy to be rooted in experiences on the ground and to clarify the different roles and ways of working between continental, regional and national level conferences.
iii.	To identify any on-going needs for capacity strengthening in advocacy 
CAFOD has supported SECAM in thinking through its strategic engagement, including hosting their three policy officers in Romero House this year. SECAM established their AU liaison office in January 2015 and has been planning since then to develop a continental advocacy strategy, which CAFOD has offered support for from the start. We have fed in to the design and planning of the workshop, helping SECAM to ensure there is sufficient follow-up and will continue to engage as a strategic partner who supports SECAM in their own processes, without trying to impose our own agenda.

ACAP programme strategy development costs The Africa Church Advocacy programme is a new programme and part of a holistic programme across Africa with a regional/continental Church advocacy focus aimed to complement CAFOD’s core programmes across Africa. To build a long-term flexible programme, with coherent partnerships, projects, and activities that contribute in an integrated and complementary way to achieve a cohesive pan-African goal, an extensive process of reflection, discussions, and engagement with partners and other stakeholders will be required.   In view of this and as part of the process of developing the Africa Church Advocacy Programme strategy, the following have been planned as key activities
Secours Catholique EU Volunteers PEOPLE project The EU Aid Volunteers funded PEOPLE project is working with 10 organisations across Africa to improve the quality and effectiveness of their humanitarian preparedness and response capacity, and their volunteer management systems. 

Secours Catholique are one of the co-funding project partners, and will work closely with CAFOD in particular on the knowledge management component of the programme, building on learning from their DIRO capacity strengthening programme. SCCF's sister agency SCD will also recruit an international volunteer to be seconded to Caritas Africa to assist with information and knowledge management.
Capacity Strengthening Post for Caritas Africa This project will provide funding for a Capacity Strengthening post for Caritas Africa for one year. Caritas Africa has prioritized work on institutional development and capacity strengthening in its Strategic Framework Document: 2015 – 2019 under Strategic Orientation 2 ‘Reinforce Institutional Development and Capacity Strengthening’. The strategic orientation sets out five objectives as follows:
i.	Develop a regional institutional development and capacity building strategy in collaboration and with the support of Caritas Internationalis.
ii.	Roll out Caritas Internationalis Management Standards and ensure their compliance and monitoring.
iii.	Encourage peer support and peer-learning for capacity strengthening.
iv.	Identify the needs of Member Organizations and develop a targeted accompaniment programme.
v.	Develop an equitable human resource policy for Caritas/Church organizations in Africa.
The expected outcomes for these objectives are detailed out in the Strategic Framework Document of Caritas Africa and would guide efforts at operationalizing the objectives as the key deliverables. Towards these end, CA has already established a Working Group whose membership is drawn from selected Member Organizations and the terms of reference of the Working Group was approved by the Regional Commission. A detailed road-map on IDCS was further developed by the Working Group as an operational framework to deliver the key outcomes. Following this, Caritas Internationalis provided further support to CA to develop this strategy that would guide partnership building and cooperation for the realization of the IDCS road-map.
SECAM 17th Plenary Assembly support Support for SECAM.
SECAM holds its Plenary Assembly every three years with the venue rotating from one region/country to another. The 17th Plenary Assembly will take place in Luanda, Angola, 18 -25 July, with the theme "The Family in Africa yesterday, today and tomorrow: in the light of the Gospel".
Regional African Workshop on Bringing Agenda 2030 to Life CAFOD and Caritas Africa are organising a workshop to share lessons on how to do research-based advocacy at national level. UCL will provide the methodology and part of the facilitation and CAFOD partners from Kenya, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Zambia will provide key input. 
The workshop will showcase a participatory research conducted by UCL and CAFOD together with four national CAFOD partners in Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Zambia. Responding to a request by Caritas Africa, the aim of this workshop is to provide a platform for learning and reflection for other national Caritas organisations in Africa on how to engage effectively with governments around the SDGs. 

The participatory research that will be used as a foundation for this workshop aims at unpacking transformational principles embedded in Agenda 2030 and translate them into policy recommendations for partners to use when engaging with national governments. These principles are also strongly correlated with elements included in Laudato Si’. Given that the participants of this workshop will be all Catholic agencies, the discussions will also focus on exploring the link between development and faith further.
Bridging Grant for AU Liaison Office - SECAM As part of SECAM’s aim to influence policies to promote the integral human development of citizens and communities across the continent, the AU liaison office was established in Addis Ababa in January 2015. This was part of Phase 3 of the Good Governance Project, funded through a consortium of CIDSE partners, led by Misereor and with CAFOD support. The liaison office aims to facilitate SECAM engagement at AU level, strengthening the voice of the Church on issues of concern for the continent, advocating for policy change and sharing relevant information with regional and national Bishops Conferences to facilitate advocacy.  

In 2015 SECAM signed an MoU with African Union Commission and has since developed an advocacy strategic plan. Key activities have included hosting a Bishops trip seeking peace in Burundi, making submissions on natural resources management and silencing the guns, and coordinating closely with CPLOs for effective links between national and international advocacy.  

In November 2016 the AU liaison office was closed at the same time as the third phase of the Good Governance Project came to an end. SECAM management sought a break between phase 3 and 4, while addressed various internal issues. Further project funding is awaiting the development of a new proposal as well as completion of project closure document and the clarification of outstanding issues from previous projects. 

At a meeting on March 8th 2017 between Management teams of SECAM, Miseroer and CAFOD, issues with previous projects were deemed satisfactorily resolved (although still awaiting a review of final documentation) and it was agreed that a six-month bridging fund would be provided to SECAM from 1st April until 30th September 2017 aimed at:
-	Developing a proposal for Phase 4 of the Good Governance Project 
-	Reopening the AU liaison office (from 1st March) 
-	Developing a work-plan for SECAM and the AU liaison office around one of the priority issues identified by SECAM, namely migration
Enhancing the Influence of the Church in Africa CAFOD is co-funding this project with Misereor and other CIDSE partners. The project's aim is to enable SECAM and all associated regional Episcopal Conferences to contribute towards reducing poverty and promoting justice and reconciliation by advocacy work at regional, continental and international level.

AIM-WELL: Algeria Integrated Management of Waste Energy at the Local Level To promote an integrated and comprehensive solid waste management by fostering technology deployment, dissemination, and transfer in collaboration with private sector Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 81. Information received from SOPTE shows that the project will have a payback period of between 30 and 36 months depending on the sensitivity of input parameters. One of the significant parameters is the price of NPK-enriched organic-based fertilizers that will be produced by the UNDP-GEF project. The financial model proposes to sell these fertilizers between 10% and 30% less than the unit price of chemical fertilizers. The investments made by the PPP will create approximately 140 new jobs and around 410 indirect jobs in the integrated solid waste value chain. The investments and human capital, supported with technical assistance from GEF financing, will result in the integrated solid waste management scheme shown in Figure 2 above. This scheme delivers global environmental benefits through the five levers that are discussed in Annex I. Further, by delivering a circular waste economy using environmentally-friendly solid waste management technologies the GEF-financed project will reduce the volume of solid waste disposed in open dumps that have detrimental impacts on air quality and result in ground and water pollution. Similarly, by providing a better means of treating poultry waste, the project will reduce the negative health and environmental impacts of poultry waste management in the baseline (Annex K).82. It is worth noting that the UNDP-GEF project is regarded as a pilot project for the implementation of the SNGID 2035 – the national strategy for the integrated management of waste – and the scaling up of activities proposed under Outcome 3 to replicate the integrated management of municipal solid waste in all 48 Wilayas in Algeria will squarely support the realization of the socioeconomic and GHG emission reductions listed in Table 2 above.

The project will update and strengthen information database of the national context, analytical and technical capacity of the key national institutions to integrate climate change priorities into national development strategies and relevant sectorial policies. The project will draw on the works and lessons learned under the first, second and third national communications, from the elaboration of the First Biennial Updated Report (BUR1) and subsequent studies carried out in all sectors at national and local levels in relation to climatic changes, as well as from the International Consultation and Analysis (ICA) process to be undertaken following the submission of the First BUR (submitted in December 2023) to the UNFCCC.
