Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities

About the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities We are a learning network of researchers and practitioners. We build fair and equitable spaces to create and share evidence on religions in development and community work. We aim to strengthen partnerships between and amongst faith and non faith actors, internationally and locally. Our Goals: - Fair and Equitable Approach: JLI actively challenges asymmetries of power in knowledge and evidence within religions and development by embedding fair and equitable practices across all of its research, evidence, learning and partnership work. - REAL (Research, Evidence, Accountability and Learning): JLI is a leading global provider of research, evidence, learning and capacity sharing that strengthens practical religious engagement strategies for faith and development actors both locally and globally. - Member and Network Engagement: JLI is recognized as a broad network of diverse international and local (faith) actors, researchers and practitioners, providing a platform for intersectoral and multi stakeholder engagement that advances religion and development knowledge and learning.
