It also seeks to establish mechanisms to raise the experience and concerns of the marginalised and poor on the agenda of the Church and in society in general. In particular EJN mandate is to contribute to the promotion of economic and social justice in Southern Africa by working with Christian churches in the SADC region in poverty reduction activities focusing on debt, budget monitoring, trade and development, food security and advocacy with the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the activities, results and impact of EJN's work on trade, dept and finance, food security and SADC in relation to its primary stakeholders the NCCs (National Council of Churches) and FOCCISA.
