Citizen of the World
This essay comments on W. Cole Durham, Jr.’s work as a global religious freedom and human rights advocate. Since 2014, Durham has led the G20 Interfaith Forum—an initiative with an ambitious goal to engage the broadest global agendas through the lens of religious communities across the world, drawing on their most pertinent and persuasive wisdom and experience. Religious freedom has been rather far removed from the core and even broader G20 agend…
Religious Inequalities and Human Rights
This article explores the impact of inequalities linked to religious identity on development strategies and outcomes. Religious prejudice and differential treatment among communities affect development practice and outcomes, undermining social harmony and cohesion and deflecting development strategies. Development actors, however, often fail to take these issues fully into account. Unequal treatments range from discriminatory exclusion and persec…
Faith at International Policy Tables
This essay highlights the role and ten-year evolution of the G20 Interfaith Forum (IF20), which works to engage religious communities, worldwide, in shaping and responding to policy agendas within the mandates of the G20. Building on the growing networks of religiously affiliated communities working internationally, the IF20 serves as a “network of networks” to bring the numerous and diverse positive insights and experience of religiously linked …
Covid-19 and Religion
The essay draws on a multiyear project to assess how religious communities worldwide experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and how they have in turn shaped responses to the pandemic. It focuses on religious public health responses, religious gatherings, and practices such as funerals, and the remarkable responses, especially at community level, offering social safety nets to people devastated by lockdowns and economic crises. Stigma, violence against…
Topics of significance for international development from religions and Covid-19 research
This review article looks at trends from academic articles published on religions and the COVID-19 pandemic between March 2020 and October 2021 in relation to their relevance for international development and global health researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. It focuses on mental health and gender-based violence. The literature shows that the use of religion and spiritual support as a coping mechanism when experiencing mental health iss…
Towards Enriching Understandings and Assessments of Freedom of Religion or Belief
Promoting the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is a foreign policy priority for several countries, their concerns accentuated by considerable evidence of rising levels of violations of this right worldwide. This puts a premium on solid evidence and on clear assessment criteria to serve as objective guides for policy. This paper reviews the complex landscape of approaches to assessing and measuring both the status of FoRB and the degr…
Strategic Religious Engagement in International Development
This essay introduces a special, open-access issue of this journal focused on the intersection of religion and relief & development. It describes the discussions—of terminology and tangibility, of perspective and practice—that shaped the research done for the “Evidence-Based Summit on Strategic Religious Engagement,” a conference organized and hosted October 5–8, 2020 by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). This special issue cons…
Implementing Strategic Religious Engagement in International Development
Strategic religious engagement in relief & development efforts requires: a careful country assessment, establishing appropriate principles of engagement, and defining priority sectors and institutions (possibly including multireligious platforms equipped to serve as intermediaries). Important factors to take into account include: (a) a risk assessment; (b) review of information sources and gaps; (c) understanding religion-state relationships; (d)…
Impressions & Indications of Religious Engagement in Development
This article focuses on the challenges of gathering, presenting, and using evidence that shapes deliberate and systematic religious engagement linked to international development and humanitarian programs. It sets the topic in a historical context, exploring the abrupt shift from a general neglect of religious dimensions by many institutions to the contemporary rising interest across wide-ranging institutions. It explores the “state of the art” t…
Religious Engagement in Development
Religious involvement in humanitarian aid and development takes countless forms, varying by country, traditions, and sector. Research and operational evaluations have expanded in recent years, with some sectors far better documented than others, notably health and peacebuilding. There are, however, substantial gaps in evidence, most significantly regarding local and non-formal involvement. Pandemic preparedness and response are critical issues re…
Intrinsic and Strategic Leverage of Religion in Development
Strategic religious engagement (SRE) is important for five main reasons: (a) the direct and significant contributions of religious actors to humanitarian assistance and development, not least their high levels of trust and access, and their distinctive contributions to spiritual care; (b) The local presence and knowledge of faith-based organizations (FBOs) and religious communities that are critical to self-reliance; (c) the significant if often …
Humanitarian Organizations
Humanitarian organizations are challenged today by shifting geopolitical and economic realities and changes spurred by forces of globalization. Emergency relief to respond to natural disasters and aid to civilians affected by conflict have dominated the work of a wide range of humanitarian organizations since World War II. Both systems and principles come under increasing scrutiny as needs increase and situations are complicated not only by protr…

Roles of religious actors in the West African Ebola response
More than 11,000 people died during the 2014–15 Ebola epidemic. It devastated the communities concerned and set back progress in building health systems and socio-economic development more broadly. Concentrated in three poor West African countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the tremors reverberated worldwide, spurring mobilisation of vast human and financial resources. The epidemic highlighted contemporary challenges for public health, p…
Religion, Human Rights, and Development
A World Bank Group–World Health Organization (WHO) study released in June 2015 reported that 400 million people worldwide lack access to essential health services (WHO and World Bank Group 2016). W
Faith, Religion, and International Development
Discussion of faith, religion, and development often raises controversy, including over terminology. This chapter considers the various formal dialogues among development practitioners and faith-inspired actors, recounting the history and assessing future prospects. Ignoring or mismanaging the dialogue is likely to be costly for development, especially in some of the poorest parts of the world where faith and religion are particularly important.
Global Institutions of Religion
This work fills a significant gap in the current literature by providing a concise introduction to religious institutions and an insightful analysis of their role in world affairs. Focusing on formal institutions specifically dedicated to governing religious communities, the work examines the intersections between religious and other global institutions, set against the fundamental question: why and how do these intersections matter? The work exp…
Religious Freedom in Us International Development Assistance and Humanitarian Relief
In the development community, religious freedom issues have not generally been addressed as a separate or distinct issue, but rather within the broader construct of the role of human rights in development. A more focused approach is needed today. Religious freedom issues present some unique challenges and, while this set of rights is fundamentally an integral part of human rights more broadly, the distinctive elements that apply to religious free…
Education for All
What roles do religions play in meeting global education challenges? This article explores five potential avenues for action: advocacy, service delivery, pluralism‐focused curricula to further religious literacy, theological training for social justice, and addressing values challenges in education. Despite growing contemporary advocacy by religious institutions – individual as well as interfaith – for global education objectives, the effort is s…
Development, Religion, and Women’s Roles in Contemporary Societies
Respect for human dignity and belief in human potential are sacred principles in most religious traditions and are also pivotal goals of human rights and development agencies. There are a range of areas where religion and gender intersect, each illustrating some reasons for tensions, areas for common ground, and potential avenues for productive engagement. These include: female genital cutting, domestic violence, preference of families for male o…
Religion and Global Development
This chapter focuses on religious involvement in the world of economic and social development. Here the large faith-inspired development organizations, including Catholic Caritas International, Protestant World Vision, and Islamic Relief, have long combined an ethical commitment to serve the poor and disadvantaged with transnational activities. Churches and Islamic charities, and other religious networks, have sustained networks of schools and ho…
Ancient and contemporary wisdom and practice on governance as religious leaders engage in international development1
This paper reviews intersecting paths that bring ethics, values, and integrity into development thinking, arguing that religious voices are likely to be heard more frequently in future development debates, with repercussions for development thinking and practice. The case of governance, corruption, accountability and responsibility is highlighted as an example. Here religious experience, actors, and institutions offer wisdom and material experien…
Development and Faith
The faith and development nexus is both a promising new focus for secular development agencies and a historic reality: for centuries, world faiths and individuals inspired by their faith have played many roles in social change and social welfare. Secular development agencies have largely operated in parallel to the world of faith-motivated development. The World Bank began in the late 1990s to explore ways in which faith and development are conne…

This book aims to advance the shared \n understanding that is emerging from a dialogue on global \n development issues. It takes stock of a decade of exchanges \n and partnerships that have marked the effort to bridge what \n were too often diverging worlds. It recognizes the \n complexity and challenge inherent in dialogue on difficult \n issues, where conflicting views and areas of uncertainty \n abound. But it also highlights the wealth of exp…

Development and Religion
In much international development work, religion has been a marginal, if not an ignored, topic. The inverse applies for many faith institutions, which have viewed the work and thinking of development institutions with skepticism. Research, operational action, joint reflection, and dialogue on common issues have been patchwork. Recent initiatives, notably the Jubilee 2000 campaign spotlight on issues of poor country debt, have highlighted how sign…

Faith Perspectives for Development Institutions
FRAMING THE ISSUESMy professional life has been spent in the world of development practice, working on what I term operations in an international development organization. The range of issues we address is very wide, AIDS to zebras, as one might say. We work with villagers to raise crop yields, build pumps for water, and reduce maternal mortality. We work in urban areas with slum communities on housing, with city administrators on sanitation, and…

Millennium Challenges for Development and Faith Institutions
The dialogue initiated at Lambeth -- continued at a second meeting of faith and development leaders in November 1999 and then at the third meeting in Canterbury, on which this booklet is based -- has endeavored to bridge these gaps. Organizers of the Canterbury meeting documented some case studies of partnerships between faith and development institutions, summarized in this booklet, as background for the gathering. These cases, many of which had…
Mind, Heart and Soul in the Fight Against Poverty
The world of religion has been unacknowledged and often unseen by many development practitioners. The areas of common concern and activity, though, are numerous and have great importance in the global effort to fight poverty. This book explores the diversity of collaboration between faith institutions and development agencies. ranging from community level interventions in support of excluded populations, work on education, health, and HIV/AIDS, r…

Finding Global Balance
This book relates the latest chapter in the story of a remarkable partnership between the worlds of faith and development, launched in 1998 by Jim Wolfensohn and then Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, when they convened a meeting of faith and development leaders in Lambeth Palace. The intervening years have seen the growth and enhancement of a network of world faith and development leaders who share a common passion to eradicate global pove…
