Capacity building
Capacity building workshop in Tanzania |
Educational activities have been a top
priority of the LWF for more than five decades, based
on the belief that the health, strength and sustainability
of a home, church, business, government or society are
linked to the qualities of their leadership. As the
church is called to be the "salt" and "light"
of the world, capacity building for church leadership
includes women and youth.

DMD capacity-building programs are aimed at empowering the member churches to address local, national and global issues by equipping people to stand up for their rights, to fulfill their responsibilities, and to bring about fundamental structural change in society.
