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 June 10, 2025, we co-hosted the live webinar “Empowered Worldview: Evidence of Faith-Based Programming on Mindsets and Child Well-Being in Rural Tanzania” in partnership with World Vision Canada.

This learning event explored new evidence from a multi-year, mixed-methods study on the Empowered Worldview program, highlighting its impacts on hope, self-efficacy and well-being in rural Tanzania.

From 2019 to 2024, World Vision International partnered with researchers from the University of Alberta and the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania to study the impact of the Empowered Worldview (EWV) program. Empowered Worldview is a faith-based behaviour change model that fosters spiritual renewal and mindset transformation. Conducted in two rural districts in Tanzania, this mixed-methods research tested the EWV Theory of Change.
