| 1. Burundi |
| Sometimes referred to as ‘the heart of Africa', due to it’s distinctive shape and central location, Burundi is one of the world's poorest countries - now emerging from more than 40 years of ethnic conflict. CMS Ireland supports the local church: as it trains and disciples leaders who will make a difference in their communities; and in its efforts to rehabilitate schools destroyed during the civil war. |

| 5. Ireland |
| For many years Ireland has primarily been the support base for CMS Ireland's work in other parts of the world. However a commitment to partnership and an embracing of Ireland as a mission region, in its own right, are beginning to change the picture. CMS Ireland is working to empower and equip the local church for global and local mission. |

| 9. Rwanda |
| Sandwiched between the countries of DR Congo, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi, Rwanda, lies at the centre of the Mid-Africa region. The genocide of 1994 saw 800,000 people massacred in 100 days and the aftermath of this has shaped the Church's ministry and mission. CMS Ireland partners with the local church - supporting youth work, poverty alleviation and building programmes. |

| 10. Sudan |
| Located in North Africa, it is often commented that Sudan is really two countries in one. Broadly speaking, the North is Islamic, whilst the South has been shaped by Christian missionary endeavours. The largest country in Africa, Sudan is emerging from the conflicts that have dominated Sudanese life since independence from the UK in 1956. CMS Ireland has a long history of standing with the Anglican Church in Southern Sudan, which has often suffered oppression and persecution. |

| 12. Zambia |
| A country of great natural beauty and splendour Zambia is a land marked by contrast - with significant divides between rich and poor, urban and rural, developed and underdeveloped plain to see. Poverty, HIV/AIDS and inadequate social services are among the many challenges faced by its people. CMS Ireland has been in partnership with the Church in Zambia since 1995 and today that link focuses primarily on leadership training and poverty alleviation programmes. |
