  4. Launch event for policy dossiers, House of Commons, London, (date tbc)
    This event, organised in conjunction with Faith Action, will serve to disseminate the project's results and outputs to the wider public, especially in the form of policy dossiers and a good practice guide; followed by final steering group meeting

We target four main types of output as result of our activities:

  1. An international network of scholars and practitioners formed around our conferences and maintained via this website, which will continue beyond the life time of this network grant, allowing the sharing of research and activities.
  2. An international multi-author volume on current issues in religions and development containing a programmatic selection papers from the three conferences, subject to thorough editing and peer review.
  3. Pilot studies or projects arising from the activities of the network as it brings together donor organisations, faith-based and secular actors, and researchers. This will ensure the life of the network beyond this initial period.
  4. Practitioner and policy focused material in the form of two-page ‘good practice guide’ and three ‘policy dossiers’, targeted at policy makers in the three project countries.
