The Centre for Social Concern
The Centre For Social Concern (CfSC)
is a project of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers).
In line with their vision and mission, the CfSC seeks
to promote Justice and Peace and the Integrity of Creation
(JPIC) and Interfaith Dialogue in Malawi and beyond.
The Centre was started in 2002 and in its short history
has been working on issues like:
A monthly review of the cost of living through the
Basic Needs Basket survey
The international debt burden, its causes and debt
cancellation
The linkage between the international trade system
and poverty and the rising cost of living in Malawi
The plight of the tobacco tenants and the promotion
of the passing of a bill regulating tobacco tenancy labour
A survey on how people who have very low salaries
cope with the ever-rising cost of living
Marginalization of religious communities and (the
lack of) participation in development
Dialogue between Islam and the Catholic Church on
their social teaching
Conflict management and mediation, mainly in conflicts
involving religion
Some of the publications coming from
these projects can be found on the publications page
of this site. The latest contributions are the BNB
data and press release, the Press
Review and the homilies for
Advent 2008. The Annual
Report for 2007 gives a good idea of the activities
undertaken by CfSC and it cana be downloaded as a PDF
file in a booklet format ready for printing.
