The United States and Canada
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 relief and development organizations based in the United States and Canada. In April 2007 the Berkley Center convened a consultation of scholars and practitioners at Georgetown University to take stock of the wide range of ongoing work by North American organizations that are, in varying ways, inspired by religious faith, and to explore the policy implications of their work. The consultation led to the publication of a report outlining critical actors, best practices, and ways forward.
