On December 14-15, 2009, Georgetown Universityâs Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD) convened a two-day consultation on the role of faith-inspired practitioners and organizations on issues of global development and equity in Southeast Asia. It was the fifth in a series of such regionally focused âmappingâ exercises.
In advance of the consultation, participants contributed to in-depth interviews on their work and experience, with a focus on how their development approach and work was influenced by religion. A draft background report prepared by the Berkley Center and WFDD was discussed at the meeting and will be published, along with a full meeting report, shortly. Discussion was moderated by Katherine Marshall, Executive Director of the WFDD, Senior Fellow at the Berkley Center, and Senior Advisor at the World Bank.
