World Faiths Development Dialogue

The World Faiths Development Dialogue bridges between the worlds of faith and secular development. Established in 1998 by James D. Wolfensohn, then President of the World Bank, and Lord George Carey, then Archbishop of Canterbury, WFDD responded to the opportunities and concerns of many faith leaders who saw untapped potential for partnerships. Based in Washington, DC, WFDD supports dialogue, fosters communities of practice, and promotes understanding on religion and development, with formal relationships to the World Bank, Georgetown University, and many faith-inspired institutions.
