Amidst increasing poverty and a rollback of human development gains due to HIV/AIDS and global marginalization, churches in Africa face multiple challenges. The WCC's ecumenical partners in Africa include regional ecumenical organizations, national councils of churches (NCCs), sub-regional fellowships, the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC), and partner agencies. During 2002, the Africa Desk was able to channel many of its partners' human and institutional resources into equipping the churches to respond to these challenges. The desk attempted to respond with respect and sensitivity to specific situations in the sub-regions. Within the WCC itself, 2002 was also a year of strengthened interaction between the Africa, Middle East and Pacific desks. Together with churches, NCCs, sub-regional fellowships and church-related groups and organizations in the region, during 2002 the desk worked on:
