Faith in Development Monitor

Faith and existing belief systems do not receive enough attention in global development cooperation despite the fact that human development is inseparably interwoven with worldviews. Development is taking place in all societies and cultures which are deeply influenced by religions. At the same time, faith-based organizations are among the oldest and most influential actors in global and local development cooperation. The Faith in Development Monitor

(1) illustrates the relevance of religion for international development cooperation,

(2) increases religious literacy among practitioners and policymakers, and

(3) comprehensively explains current developments in the field of “religion and development”. We encourage readers and recipients to engage in dialogue with faith-based organizations.

Under the slogan “500 seconds for more faith in development“, the free Faith in Development Monitor is published every two months in English and German. For registration to the newsletter please click here.
