The World Faiths Development Dialogue and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation joined efforts in April 2012 to enhance the role of faith institutions working to benefit health in Africa by highlighting cases of current health work by faith-inspired organizations.

It also contains a background paper with supporting research, two supplements, and two appendices.
