About JLI Learning Hubs

Learning Hubs are interdisciplinary, collaborative learning platforms for practitioners, policymakers, academics, civil society members and other experts of any faith or none to produce and engage with evidence relating to faith actors’ activities in achieving humanitarian, development and peacebuilding goals.

Learning Hubs work across  areas of common interest (such as migration, gender-based violence, MHPSS and others) as they relate to faith. Members work together to review, map, and assess what is already known about the roles local faith actors play in the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding needs of local communities. Hubs then focus on increasing or developing new evidence in these areas  to inform and improve policy and practice amongst humanitarian, development and peacebuilding communities – both faith-based and secular, local and international. Leading experts from different sectors usually co-chair each Learning Hub, representing practitioners, academics and policy specialists.

Global Hubs

Global Learning Hubs bring together stakeholders – including those who work at local, regional, national, and international levels – from around the world to collaborate around a shared thematic focus. Since 2012, JLI has hosted ten Global Learning Hubs, on issues such as Gender Based Violence, Refugees and Forced Migration, Anti-Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery, and Community Mobilization.
