confronted with migration issues:
Un peu de recul historique
what are the answers?
Les migrations ont toujours fait partie de
l’histoire de l’humanité. A la suite d’un
appel de Dieu, le Patriarche Abraham avait
émigré de sa Mésopotamie natale pour la
Syrie avant d’aller vers Canaan, pays que
le Seigneur lui avait indiqué. Joseph, après

avait affecté toute la région. Nous savons
tous comment, par la suite, les Israélites (Migrants) ont
contribué à l’essor de l’Egypte. L’annonce de l’Evangile, le
développement des grands royaumes/empires et des grandes
civilisations ont aussi été faits … des migrations.
Plus proches de nous
Depuis quelques années, les tragédies répétées dans la Mer
Méditerranée, en Grèce, en Syrie, en Afrique du Sud, …
confirment que nous sommes en face des crises migratoires
qui mettent à rude épreuve les droits et la dignité des
migrants. Ces crises exigent que l’Eglise apporte sa contribution non seulement aux réflexions qui sont menées à
différents niveaux mais également aux actions entreprises ou
aux réponses qui sont proposées ici et là. C’est cela qui a
poussé la Confédération Caritas Internationalis à dédier sa
prochaine campagne internationale à la question migratoire.
Causes probables ou certaines ?
Les inégalités croissantes, les situations d’injustices, la mauvaise
gouvernance, le changement climatique,… sont probablement
parmi les causes de ces crises qui ne cessent de se complexifier.
Ces situations complexes appellent finalement Caritas à être un
agent réel de réconciliation, promoteur de l’espoir et de
l’espérance, de la démocratie, de la bonne gouvernance et de
l’Etat de droit, … sans tenir compte des frontières, de nationalités, de races,…

Some historical perspective
Migration has always been part of the history of mankind.
Following a call from God, Abraham, the Patriarch, emigrated
from his native Mesopotamia to Syria before going to Canaan, the
land that the Lord had shown him. Joseph, after being sold to
traffickers (Human Trafficking) was joined by his family to Egypt
following a famine situation (weather disturbances?) that affected
the entire region. We all know how, later, the Israelites (Migrants)
contributed to the development of Egypt. The announcement of
the Gospel, the development of great kingdoms/empires and great
civilizations have also been made ... through migrations.
Nearer to us
In recent years, the repeated tragedies in the Mediterranean Sea,
Greece, Syria, South Africa, ... confirm that we are confronted
with migration crises that are straining the rights and dignity of
migrants. These crises require that the Church contributes not
only to discussions that are conducted at various levels but also
to the actions or responses that are offered here and there. This is
what prompted the Caritas Internationalis Confederation to
dedicate its next international campaign on the migration issue.
Probable or proven causes ?
Growing inequality, situations of injustice, bad governance, climate
change, ... are probably among the causes (Continued on page 4)
Editorial
A rede da Caritas em África
confrontada com assuntos de
migração: Quais são as respostas?
Alguma perspectiva histórica
A migração sempre foi parte da história da humanidade.
Seguindo um chamamento de Deus, Abraão, o Patriarca, migrou
da sua Mesopotâmia nativa para a Síria antes de ir a Caná, a terra
que o Senhor havia-lhe indicado. José, depois de ter sido vendido
aos traficantes (Traficantes Humanos) a sua família juntou-se a
ele no Egipto depois de uma situação de fome (pela perturbação
climatérica?) que afectou toda a região. Nós todos sabemos como
é que, mais tarde, os Israelitas (Migrantes) contribuíram para o
desenvolvimento do Egipto. O anúncio do Evangelho, o
desenvolvimento dos grandes reinos/impérios e das grandes
civilizações foram também construídos…. através dos migrantes.
Mais perto de nós
Nos anos mais recentes, as repetidas tragédias no mar
mediterrâneo, Grécia, Síria, África do Sul,…confirmam que nós
somos confrontados pelas crises migratórias que estão a desgastar
os direitos e dignidade dos migrantes. Estas crises requerem que
a Igreja contribua não somente nos debates que são realizados
aos vários níveis mas também às acções e respostas prestados
aqui e aí. Isto é o que motivou a Confede- (Continua na página 4)

with migration issues: what are the answers?
(Suite de la page 3)
Que faire ?
S’adressant aux participants au 7ème Congrès Mondial du
Conseil Pontifical de la Pastorale des Migrants organisé à
Rome en novembre 2014, le Pape François a mentionné que
« ceux qui migrent aspirent à l’espoir d’un avenir meilleur
pour leurs familles, même au risque de la déception et de
l’échec. (…). L’Eglise doit demeurer une source d’espoir pour
les migrants, qui font souvent l’expérience de la déception,
de la détresse et de la solitude. »
Dans une perspective ecclésiale, la migration est donc un défi
pour la solidarité chrétienne et l’identité de Caritas en tant que
service de l’Eglise pour témoigner de l’amour de Dieu envers
les plus vulnérables. Caritas est présent dans les pays d’origine,
de transit et de destination des migrants. En se basant sur son
expérience et celle des migrants, il est possible d’imaginer que
le Réseau Caritas en Afrique doit mener une action plus
décisive, plus constructive, plus cohérente et globale, et qui
s’inscrit dans la durée, en collaboration avec d’autres
organisations au sein et en dehors de la famille Caritas.
Il est donc important pour Caritas d’adopter une approche
à la fois multi-acteurs et interdisciplinaire pour mener des
actions appropriées (recherche, analyse prospective,
plaidoyer,…) afin que les migrants soient placés au centre
des politiques, stratégies, programmes et projets qui sont ou
seront développés à différents niveaux par exemple dans le
cadre de la mise en œuvre des Objectifs de Développement
Durable (ODD/SDGs).

of these crises that continually become
more complex. These complex situations
finally call Caritas to be a real agent of reconciliation, promoter of
hope and expectation, democracy, good governance and the rule
of law ... regardless of borders, nationalities, races, ...

ração Caritas Internationalis a dedicar
a sua próxima campanha internacional
às questões de migração.
Causas prováveis ou provadas
A desigualdade crescente, situações de injustiça, má governação,
mudanças climáticas, … provavelmente estão entre as causas
destas crises que se tornam cada vez mais complexas. Estas
situações complexas chamam definitivamente a Caritas a ser um
agente de reconciliação real, promotor de esperança e expectativas,
democracia, boa governação e reguladora da lei …
independentemente das fronteiras, nacionalidades e raças. …
O que fazer
O Papa Francisco ao discursar aos participantes no 7º Congresso
do Concelho Pontifical do Cuidado Pastoral aos Migrantes,
realizado em Roma em Novembro de 2014, disse que: “aqueles
What to do ?
Addressing participants at the 7th World Congress of the
Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants, held in Rome
in November 2014, Pope Francis said that "those who migrate
aspire with hope for a better future for their families, taking the
risk of disappointment and failure. (...). The Church must remain
a source of hope for migrants, who often experience
disappointment, distress and loneliness."
In an ecclesial perspective, migration is a challenge for Christian
solidarity and Caritas identity as the Church service to
demonstrate the love of God for the most vulnerable. Caritas is
present in countries of origin, transit and destination of migrants.
Based on its experience and that of migrants, it is possible to
imagine that the Caritas network in Africa must take more
decisive, more constructive, more coherent and comprehensive
action, on a long-term basis, in collaboration with other
organizations within and outside the Caritas family.
It is therefore important for Caritas to adopt an approach, which
is both interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder, to take
appropriate action (research, prospective analysis, advocacy, ...)
to ensure that migrants are placed at the centre of policies,
strategies, programs and projects that are being or will be
developed at different levels, for example within the framework
of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs).
que migram aspiram um futuro melhor para as suas famílias,
tomando o risco de decepção e derrota. (…). A Igreja deve
continuar a ser a fonte da esperança para os migrantes, que muitas
vezes experimentam decepções, tristeza e solidão.”
Numa perspectiva eclesial, migração é um desafio para a
solidariedade cristã e a identidade da Caritas como serviço da
Igreja é demostrar o amor de Deus para os mais vulneráveis. A
Caritas está presente nos países de origem, transito e destino dos
migrantes. Baseada na sua experiencia e da dos migrantes, é
possível imaginar que a rede Caritas em África deve tomar acções
mais decisivas, construtivas, coerentes e compreensivas, numa
base de longo prazo, em colaboração com outras organizações
dentro e fora da família Caritas.
É entretanto importante para a Caritas adoptar uma abordagem,
que seja tanto interdisciplinar e de múltiplo interesse, para tomar
acções apropriadas (investigação, analise provável, advocacia, …)
para assegurar que os migrantes sejam postos no centro das
políticas, estratégias, programas e projectos que estão ou serão
desenvolvidos aos diferentes níveis, por exemplo dentro do quadro
de implementação dos Objectivos de Desenvolvimento
Sustentáveis (ODS).

Caritas commitment in Africa
in a change-oriented approach
● Challenges and Issues of the A2P-DIRO Programme
T
he A2P-DIRO Programme (Personalized close
support - Institutional development and organizational strengthening) will involve, in its second
phase (2016 -2018), 14 National Caritas Members in
sub-Saharan Africa, the Regional Executive Secretariat
of Caritas Africa as well as the Secours
Catholique Caritas France in a changeoriented approach.
In summary, the pattern of this
approach requires that one starts from
an initial situation (hardly satisfactory)
to an improved situation on a road that
is not necessarily linear and without
pitfalls, under service leadership.

Promised Land!
And don’t the Ten Commandments given to Moses by
God to guide the life of his people represent for us the
management standards that the
Caritas Internationalis Confederation
promotes today and invites every
Member Organisation to apply for its
well-being and organizational growth
to better reflect the Love of God to the
most vulnerable by providing them
with quality services, and this in a
professional manner? Is not that the
challenge?
His Grace Archbishop Gabriel Justice
Anokye, President, Caritas Africa.
This approach also refers to the Holy
Scriptures. Reading the books of the Pentateuch, such as
Exodus (the deliverance from Egypt), Numbers (walking
in the desert), and Deuteronomy (the civil code and
religious laws) gives us food for thought thereon.
What is at stake is that ultimately we
may have in Africa, on the one hand, Caritas
organisations that effectively accompany the most
vulnerable for their empowerment and respecting
their dignity as individuals created in the image of
God, and on the other hand, Caritas organisations

Mensagem do Presidente da Caritas África
O compromisso da Caritas em África
numa abordagem orientada a mudança
●
Desafios e temas do Programa DIRO-A2P
O
Programa DIRO-A2P (apoio Personalizado
mais próximo – desenvolvimento institucional
e reforço organizacional) que envolverá, na sua
segunda fase (2016-2018), 14 membros das Caritas
Nacionais da África subsaariana, o Secretariado
Executivo Regional da Caritas África assim como a
Secours Catholique da Caritas
Francesa numa abordagem orientada
à mudança.
Em resumo, o padrão desta abordagem requer que se comece duma

consiso) para uma situação melhorada
para uma via que não seja necessariamente linear e sem declivio, mas
sob uma liderança de serviço.

amor de Deus aos mais vulneráveis
providenciando à eles serviços de

SE Arcebispo Gabriel Justiça Anokye,
Presidente, Caritas África.
Esta abordagem referese também à sagrada escritura.
Ao ler o livro do Pentateucos, tal como o Exodus, (a
libertação do Egipto), Os Números (o caminhar no
deserto), e no Deutoronómio (o código civil e a lei
religiosa) nos dâ o alimento para o pensamento adiante.
De facto, os Israelitas que estiveram no cativeiro no
Egipto (situação inicial), depois de tomarem a consciencia deste Estado, com o acompanhamento do
Moises, assistidos por vários dos seus assistentes,
todos os verdadeiros líderes ao serviço do povo de
Deus, tomaram o caminho para a terra prometida
(situação melhorada). Esta caminhada (abordagem)
lhes permitiu viver vários eventos que causaram no
O que esta em foco é que podemos
finalmente ter em África, de um lado,
organizações da Caritas que efectivamente acompanham os mais vulneráveis para o seu reforço e
respeitando a sua dignidade como indivíduos criados
a imagem de Deus, e por outro lado, membros da
Caritas enraizados duma forma contínua nas comunidades, nas nossa paróquias, nossas dioceses e nos
respectivos países.
Assim, nos convidamos as outras Caritas irmãs a
juntarem-se aos esforços do Secretariado Executivo da
Caritas para iniciarem e/ou a implementarem, de uma
forma coordenada, outros programas similares que
irão também envolverem outros membros da Caritas
na Região África.

tation of the SDGs must be an important
priority for Sub-Saharan Africa.
However, a recent Regional Scorecard
paper by the Overseas Development
Institute (ODI) in April, 2016 on ‘The
SDGs in Sub-Saharan Africa’ shows
how Sub-Saharan Africa is likely to
progress across the SDG agenda 2030, if
current trends continue. It concludes
that although we can expect gains for
many of the goals and targets, low
starting points and inequality both
within and between countries will make
Sub-Saharan Africa’s achievement of the
global goals particularly difficult. We
would need effective tracking of
progress as the litmus test for these
preliminary conclusions.
(Continued on page 12)
The expected impact would be
measured by:
i. Increased citizens’ demand on
government for implementation of
the SDGs, especially around the 2016
General Elections;
ii. The proposed 40-year National
Development Plan would have key
references to SDGs, targets and
indicators; and

Church in Uganda working

given me a tank for harvesting rain water.
I use the water for domestic purposes as
well as irrigation of my vegetable gardens
during the dry season. I have not gone to
fetch water for the last 5 months now.
Being a widow has not stopped me from
doing work. Caritas has trained us in
working together in operational groups.
This has created solidarity among us. I
hope to achieve more than this through
Caritas membership.”
Mr. Aruho Deus of Kisoro in Kabale
diocese has used the water to make
bricks which he has used to complete
his house. He also makes bricks for sale
to his community members. From the
sale of 3 000 bricks alone, he has earned
UGX 450 000 (Euro 118) which he has
used to buy iron sheets for his house
which will eventually make him collect
even more water during rainy seasons.
Community involvement in identifying
their own needs and aspirations, working with them to find solutions to their
needs, building hope that everything is
possible, starting with what they have
and facilitating the development process has been the major approach used
by Caritas to ensure acceptance of interventions, achievement of positive results and sustaining them beyond the
project lifetime.
In Nyamiyaga and Kateseni villages in
Isingiro district in Mbarara diocese,
where Caritas has supported 5 farmers
with these tanks, seven other people
have copied the technologies, bought
materials themselves and constructed
seven more water tanks of the same
capacity as those promoted by Caritas:
‘one drop in the ocean leaving ripples of
development for generations’.
This is a key achievement in terms of
adoption of technologies beyond the
target groups. What rural communities
need is to make them appreciate their
needs and support them in identifying
workable solutions, and working with
them to achieve their goals. As development partners and practitioners, we
only facilitate the development process.

Tenth anniversary of
the House Service Technicians’ School
Décimo aniversário da
Escola de Técnicos Casa Serviços
The tenth anniversary of the House Service Technicians’ School,
established by Caritas Black River, a parish Caritas in Mauritius,
was marked by the presentation of certificates to participants of
its first training session this year.
O décimo aniversário da Escola de Técnicos Casa Serviços ', instituído
pela Caritas Rio Preto, uma paróquia Caritas nas Maurícias, foi marcado
pela apresentação de certificados aos participantes de sua primeira sessão
de treinamento este ano.
The training lasts 3½ months and includes theoretical and
practical courses. Some participants fail to complete the training
while others find it difficult to combine training and employment.
The difficulty is to be committed all through the training period.
To remedy this, the school adds to its curriculum Life Skills
Management courses, offered by Caritas Mauritius trainers.
O treinamento dura 3 ½ meses e inclui cursos teóricos e práticos. Alguns
participantes não conseguem completar a formação, enquanto outros
acham que é difícil combinar a formação eo emprego. A dificuldade está
a ser cometido durante todo o período de treinamento. Para remediar
esta situação, a escola contribui para seu currículo cursos de gestão de
competências da Vida, oferecidos por treinadores Caritas Maurícia.
The results are very encouraging and it is heartening to know
that more than 250 women have so far been trained and the
majority found jobs. The School now has a semi-professional
kitchen, where cooking classes are given.
Os resultados são muito encorajadores e é animador saber que mais de
250 mulheres já foram treinados ea maioria encontraram emprego. A
escola tem agora uma cozinha semi-profissional, onde aulas de culinária
são dadas.
