Faith and Development Leaders' Meeting

Between July 1–3, 2009, 85 development and faith leaders from 28 countries met in Accra, Ghana to explore the common ground and goals of religious and development organizations fighting poverty. Particular attention was paid to the expertise of religious leaders on developing effective strategies to serve local populations. The meeting was coordinated by the World Bank’s Development Dialogue on Values and Ethics and the World Faiths Development Dialogue, and was further supported by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID). The meeting included sessions on HIV/AIDS, malaria, education, and other issues of common concern.
