Faith Word In Action Annual Review: Taking Stock of Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment Activities in the DRC
Faith Word In Action (FWA), a civic organization funded by Oxfam, FEMNET and the European Union, is committed to the development and empowerment of young women and girls in the DRC. As part of its annual review, FWA organized a workshop from July 4 to 5 in Kinshasa aimed at taking stock of the implementation of activities and highlighting the progress made.
The objective of this workshop was to assess the impact of FWA activities and plan actions for the year 2023. Anifa Kalombola, Executive Secretary of Faith Word In Action, stressed the importance of this annual review to draw up an assessment of the achievements, identify the difficulties encountered and define new strategies to achieve the objectives set.
The workshop also allowed the different partners to share their experiences and discuss activities carried out outside the STITCH project, which is supported by Oxfam and FEMNET. This collaboration between the partners aims to strengthen knowledge and promote mutual aid for positive development.
For nearly four years, Faith Word In Action has been operating in the DRC, alongside CONAFED, as part of the STITCH project. This project aims to empower women and girls in seven African countries, enabling them to take on leadership roles within their communities.
The Faith Word In Action annual review is therefore a crucial step to assess achievements, identify gaps and plan future action. Thanks to the support of its partners, FWA continues to work for the empowerment of women and girls in the DRC, thus contributing to sustainable development and gender equality.
