Poor management of structures have created poor communication and lack of transparency within Churches. Consequently the people do not have the sense of ownership of development programmes and projects leading to lack of total commitment and broad based community participation in wholistic development. There is poverty of strong Christian leadership and modelling, resulting in deterioration of morality and ethics, thus allowing tribalism and nepotism to thrive in our society today.
The Church has been inhibited in addressing the above problems because of inadequate managerial and technical knowledge and skills.
Furthermore, lack of local commitment to wholistic development work by most Churches has resulted in inadequate resources for programmes and projects. Consequently, the Church has been all too ready to source finance from outside, frequently creating dependency and donor driven programmes. On account of the lack of vision, poor structures and skills for wholistic development, the Church based overseas partners are increasingly reluctant to fund development programmes and projects of the Churches in Africa.
