Nairobi, Kenya Faith to Action Network Full time

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Faith to Action Network began in October 2010 when DSW (Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung), Christian Connections for International Health (CCIH) and Muhammadiyah undertook a feasibility study and participatory consultations to investigate strategic and practical considerations of working globally across faiths to realise better family planning and reproductive health funding and supportive policies (internal and external to faith organisations). As a climax of the consultations, a meeting with leaders from diverse religions and regions across the globe took place in June 2011 in Nairobi, Kenya, resulting in the ground breaking Interfaith Declaration to improve family health and wellbeing otherwise known as Nairobi Declaration. In this declaration, religious leaders committed to leveraging their networks to support families to have increased access to information and quality services on family planning and reproductive health consistent with their faith. They mandated the establishment of a global interfaith network (Faith to Action Network) to promote dialogue, build the technical and financial capacity of faith organisations and religious institutions and facilitate sustained joint advocacy and programming in support of family health and wellbeing.
