Impact: Making a difference in your country and in Africa

“As an organization going through AFCAA assessment has built our credibility across the globe in what we do, people have more confidence in our ministry and services offered as we win, build, send and multiply disciples for Christ. Ministry partners have developed credibility in our accounting system as well as the Board members. The global CCC is relying on this on the evaluations for Kenya stage three assessment as a supporting document. Recommendations that have been acted upon have become like the benchmark for many, for several Cru affiliated organizations within Africa. In Kenya, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) approves our working relations in terms of purchases and law abiding, we are a center of attraction and integrity setting an example to other NGO’s and parachurch organizations.”

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”

By filling and submitting the application form downloadable from our website and paying the respective application fee. The assessment team then carries out an assessment after which, if satisfied, they will recommend accreditation. 

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.

AfCAA ensures that all appropriate confidentiality obligations and technical and organizational security measures are in place to prevent any unauthorised or unlawful disclosure or processing of such information and data and the accidental loss or destruction of or damage to such information and data.

AfCAA may disclose confidential information, including information subject to privilege, to national and international regulatory bodies, a court in criminal, civil or other litigation, or to other third parties as may be required by law, statute, rule or regulation, as long as it is determined by us to be applicable to AfCAA.
