Community-based nutrition education and rehabilitation "centers" (CERNS or Motherkraft Centers) were extensively tried throughout Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s. Warren and I visited them in Guatemala and Mexico and ran them in Haiti at a time when they were widely dispersed throughout the country. I will be happy to report on the methodology, their success rates, the studies that were carried out, and the reason they were abandoned. 

The Goals of AACC are:
 

To raise the demands of the Gospel to churches and national Christian councils with regard to their lives and missions especially in the areas of evangelism, witness, service, and unity consultation and action. 

 

To provide a common program for study and research. 

 

To encourage closer relations and sharing among African churches through visits, conferences, and information sharing. 

 

To assist churches in identifying, sharing, and placing personnel and other resources in support of the common task

 

To promote leadership training for both laity and clergy. 

The Structure of AACC

The General Assembly, which meets every five years, sets policy and assumes overall responsibility for the life and work of the AACC. The General Committee meets every 18 months to assess the on-going work of the organization and to deal with issues confronting the AACC. The AACC Headquarters is situated in Nairobi, Kenya.
