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.

Micah has close to 800 members from 93 countries equating to an enormous reservoir of expertise.
In order to be a blessing to one another, Micah invites members to submit a wide range of material
capturing theological reflection, principles and processes of application and good practice, case studies, research and outcomes. We encourage integration of theology and practice. Selected papers will be collated to form a consultation publication and nine spaces will be given to authors to present their paper in the Micah M-phatic sessions (this is like a TED talk). Topics raised will be reviewed and discussed, and may inform the next three years of thematic focus of Micah.

Please ensure relevance to the overarching Consultation theme: Integral Mission and Resilient Community- Addressing poverty, injustice and conflict
