Founded in 1979 in Chilema, Malawi, the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA) operates in 15 provinces (regional churches) within the Anglican Communion, collectively representing more than 40 million Anglicans in over 30 countries. With support from its secretariat in Nairobi, Kenya, CAPA works to strengthen and support the Anglican Communion across Africa, addressing regional challenges and advancing the Church’s mission. CAPA’s strategic priorities include peace and nation-building, economic empowerment, church life, intra- and interfaith relations, environmental stewardship, food security, and emerging issues such as safe migration and human trafficking.
Since the early 1980s, the Anglican Church of Canada has been a partner in CAPA’s work—a relationship that continues today through our Global Relations program. Recent collaboration and support have focused on combating human trafficking, modern slavery, and forced migration. Additionally, we have worked alongside CAPA to enhance its secretariat’s infrastructure, helping to ensure long-term impact.
