WORLD FAITHS DEVELOPMENT DIALOGUE

Religions for peace: wfdd agreed to conduct a series of roundtables and write research briefs on four key topics: youth, environment, gender, and corruption.

Bangladesh religious dimensions of development and social cohesion: this program builds on the previous bangladesh program, expanding the scope to ensure that the initiatives are deepened, sustained, and adapted, and respond to emerging challenges that bangladesh confronts. Underlying goals are to address rising tensions within bangladesh society and to situate both understanding and response in national and regional settings. Audiences include current and future policy actors from both secular and religious communities. The scope is bangladesh centered but set in a regional and international context, exploring topics with significant but often misunderstood social and religious dynamics.

Wwsd: wfdd played a leading role in the g20 interfaith conference. In addition to being a member of the coordination unit, wfdd authored several policy briefs that were presented at the conference.

Director project support: wfdd supports its executive director on projects that fall outside of a formal wfdd program. These projects are often related to programs that have concluded or have yet to formally begin. Activities include travel related to new grant planning and director travel for wfdd program area-related events.

Crsd: wfdd provides technical support to crsd in senegal as it transitions from being a project partner to a main grantee.
