Enhancing Performance Management Capacity at ACC

The African Council of Churches (ACC) is a leading organization bringing together member churches and Christian institutions across Africa. With a mission rooted in justice, peace, and unity, ACC plays a vital role in faith-based advocacy, capacity building, and leadership development across the continent. Recognizing that strong internal systems are key to delivering its vision, ACC partnered with Vantage Africa to strengthen its performance management culture and capability.

Identified Gap

Before the training, ACC experienced challenges in setting clear performance expectations, linking individual roles to organizational goals, and creating a results-driven culture. Many teams lacked structured tools for tracking progress or providing meaningful feedback. The need was clear: to embed a culture of performance that balances accountability with continuous development.
