About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

On October 10, JLI partnered with Soka Gakkai International, the World Council of Churches, ADRRN to discuss Faith-Based Organization’s contributions to the Sendai Framework and disaster relief reduction (DRR). The discussion at the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva, Switzerland included the presence of UNISDR and UNHCR.
