The Jesuit Conference of Africa and Madagascar (JCAM), the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa & Madagascar (SECAM) and the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA).
ASI fulfils its goal by developing informative media productions, organising webinars that support the formation of the faithful, and convening various groups to reflect critically on synodality from an African perspective.
African Youth Synodality Message to Pope Francis
Following listening and discernment sessions that ASI facilitated, two vision statements on synodality were produced titled: A Vision of Synodality Rooted in an African Ecclesial Context and A Life-Giving Vision of Synodality from African Consecrated Women.
Members of the ASI Theological Working Group developed reflections on some key synodality themes from an African perspective, which have been published as A Pocket Companion to Synodality: Voices from Africa.
The African Synodality Initiative has developed resources for reflection as we journey together towards a synodal church. The resources are developed for a wide audience. In this section you can download e-books, vision statements and more resources done specifically on the Synod on Synodality in the Universal Church.

If you wish to make a donation by direct bank transfer please contact Fr Paul Hamill SJ treasurer@jesuits.africa. Fr Paul will get in touch with you about the best method of transfer for you and share account details with you. Donations can be one-off gifts or of any frequency; for example, you might wish to become a regular monthly donor of small amounts; that sort of reliable income can allow for very welcome forward planning in the development of the Society’s works in Africa and Madagascar.
Often it is easier to send a donation to an office within your own country and Fr Paul can advise on how that might be done. In some countries this kind of giving can also be recognised for tax relief and the necessary receipts will be issued.
