Impact: Improved Operational Efficiency

“We have been undergoing Global and National restructuring that have changed our organisational dynamics. We’re now settling down. Apart from observing government processes and carrying out external financial audit, our relationship with AfCAA is the first exposure we have to an outside organisation “scrutinising” our systems, processes and giving us feedback”

For an organization to qualify for AfCAA accreditation, it must be Christian- based in its nature, mission/ mandate or ownership. E.g Church, Christian Ministry, Christian non-profit or Christian-owned business or institution.

Ultimately, accreditation is granted based on successful demonstration of compliance to and expressions of the 7 Biblical Standards in the organization’s operations, policies. 

AfCAA’s standards and seal of accreditation are recognised globally as a stamp of confidence in sound accountability and stewardship practices in your organization/ ministry. Accredited organizations/ ministries become a testimony to a watching world that the body of believers do indeed model accountability and stewardship in ministry.

The accreditation process is a value- adding exercise that helps in institutional strengthening. It also opens organizations to peer accountability and exposes them to social investors. 

Members enjoy a wide range of benefits from AfCAA that are helpful in ensuring consistency in application and practice of the Biblical Standards, as well as continuous organizational strengthening and discipleship in accountability and stewardship.

AfCAA has a pool of assessors who are professionals in the various areas of our 7 Biblical Standards, which they use to evaluate an organization’s operations, policies and processes/ systems.

These professionals are themselves Christians who subscribe to AfCAA’s 7 standards.

Yes. AfCAA’s geographical reach covers 44 sub-Saharan African Countries.

Your organization will be allowed to participate in and take advantage of AfCAA’s capacity-building platforms like seminars and webinars until such a time you are ready for accreditation.

AfCAA’s accreditation is focused on organizational systems and policies. Thus, it does not accredit individuals but may accredit a business or organization owned/run by a Christian individual who subscribes to the 7 Biblical Standards. 

The duration of the process is mostly dependent on an organization’s readiness and turn-around times in providing the required documentation to AfCAA for assessment. The better prepared or faster in submitting documents the faster the process.

All member organizations are required to renew their membership every year. Our team of assessors conduct a desk review to ascertain consistency in compliance with the Biblical Standards before, accreditation is renewed for a further one year.
