Latin America
As part of its global mapping of faith-inspired organizations in development work sponsored by the Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs, the Berkley Center has held consultations and developed publications and web resources focused on Latin America. In January 2009 the Berkley Center, the United Nations Population Fund, and the World Faiths Development Dialogue convened a consultation of scholars, practitioners, and religious leaders in Antigua, Guatemala to take stock of the wide range of ongoing work by Latin American organizations that are, in varying ways, inspired by religious faith, and to review major issues facing the region. The consultation led to the publication of a report outlining critical actors, best practices, and ways forward.
