The South African Council of Churches of Western Cape was established in 1968. The formation was informed by the Gospel imperatives of the organisation, in order to work towards moral reconstruction in South Africa. The main focus was on issues of justice, reconciliation, integrity of creation, the eradication of poverty and contributing towards the empowerment of all who are spiritually, socially and economically marginalised.

The purpose and objective of the evaluation was to assess the design, implementation and results of the project in order to determine its relevance, effectiveness, impact and sustainability in the context of its stated aim.
