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 November 11, 2021, JLI held a webinar where John Blevins, JLI Board member and Director of Interfaith Health Program at Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, presented his paper on ‘COVID-19 and the Politics of Life and Death’. The paper examines the influences of religion on community perceptions of COVID-19. Katherine Marshall, Executive Director of the World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD) responded followed by a Question and Answer session.
