As the 21st Plenary Assembly of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) gets underway in Nairobi, participants in a Catholic gathering on ethical investment have presented the Nairobi Declaration, calling for responsible financial practices aligned with Church teachings.
The declaration, issued on July 21, 2026, emphasizes the need for investments that promote social justice, environmental stewardship, and the common good in the region. It urges Church institutions and individual Catholics to avoid investments in industries that harm human dignity or the environment.
The AMECEA plenary, which brings together bishops from nine Eastern African countries, is focusing on the theme of integral human development and the role of the Church in fostering sustainable economies.
