Evangelical Focus on Children

History

AEA began expressing serious concern for the plight of children in Africa in 1987 at the 4th General Assembly in Zambia. At its 6th General Assembly in Nigeria in 1993, AEA's Evangelical Focus on Children Commission-EFOC was established. At PACLA II in Nairobi, in 1994, 800 African Church leaders mandated EFOC to implement the resolutions of the African child made at the conference. The participants endorsed EFOC for the follow up of networking and collaboration with all children organizations in Africa as well as addressing the issues on children which were recommended at the consulation.
