The Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection

The Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection is a research, education and advocacy team that promotes study and action on issues linking Christian Faith and social justice in Zambia. The Centre engages in research on key social issues like the cost of living, social implications of debt servicing, accessibility of healthcare and education and integrity of local democracy.

Working with SCIAF, the project played a key role in fighting the multinational company Donegal International, a so-called Vulture Fund, which was trying to claim $55 million from the Zambian government. The Centre puts forward their findings in publications, workshops, conferences and media presentations.

The Centre also joins in advocacy campaigns by mobilising the public through local-based teams around Zambia and by cooperating with other civil society groups.
