Description: World Faiths Development Dialogue is a not-for-profit organization working at the intersection of religion and global development. It also refers to a process of exchange involving leaders of the major world religions, and international development organizations.
A three-year project (July 2023-June 2026) supported by the Templeton Religion Trust focuses on four different, distinctively plural countries: Ghana, Philippines, Senegal, and Sri Lanka. Working with the four countries will allow a comparative approach and offer examples of religious pluralism at play. The aim is to strengthen strategic religious engagement and practical operational models.
