Virtual Conference on Diakonia

Good management and work practice are critical in carrying out diakonia, or service to the community. Even with the best of intentions, sustainable results are impossible in the absence of core competencies.

Following on from two similar conferences in recent years, which enabled over 400 people from around the world to take part, this third virtual conference on diakonia focuses on enhancing the ability of member churches to offer practical, life-changing programs to the most vulnerable people in their communities.

People from the LWF communion are invited to join. Registration is free

By sharing resources and coming up with new ideas, churches are better equipped to serve. Good management helps churches respond to the unique challenges facing their communities. Participants will discuss:

- what do we do diakonia for? What is good management that makes our work effective?

- how can we measure effectiveness? what is the role of planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting in good management?

- how can we improve management at different levels of a project?

- how can we best use existing networks and resources?

Management for Effective Diakonia is a virtual event during which content is shared and participants communicate in real-time via the internet. In order for participants from all over the world and different time zones to join, all events in the programme will be repeated.
