“Faith and tradition are not antagonists to development, nor are they bystanders watching with folded arms the slow yet ever marching parade of progress. They play integral roles in fostering resilience in their respective local communities. Working with faith based organizations can be delicate and complex. However, any model that seeks to maximize development potential, must incorporate faith and tradition based organizations.”
(Mohamed Hagmagid Ali on the MENA region, 2/25/2015)
At this side-event to the Dutch Humanitarian Summit in the Hague and the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, the roles of faith based organizations in humanitarian aid are explored and reflected upon.
