Faith in Development : Partnership Between the World Bank and the Churches of Africa

This book is based on a conference held in Nairobi in March 2000, organised jointly by the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa and the World Bank to discusses the principles and practicalities of a partnership, covering a broad range of development topics. The conference grew out of a conversation held between the president of the World Bank and the Archbishop of Canterbury and is based on common concerns for alleviating poverty. As well as looking at the role of faith and the role of the World Bank, papers examine ways of reducing conflict and corruption, gender inequality and the AIDS pandemic, poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and poverty, the state and the private sector.
