Engaging local faith actors in urban response (ALNAP webinar)

March 28, 2019

Urban areas are home to a diverse range of stakeholders, from civil society to first responder groups, academics and many levels of government. Local faith groups/leaders are one of several different urban stakeholders that humanitarians often fail to engage with effectively. Reflections on recent humanitarian crises, such as the Ebola response in West Africa, have highlighted the critical role local faith actors can play. In particular, when sharing information and changing mindsets and behaviours, both of which are incredibly difficult to do. Secular organisations often do not know how to engage with these local faith actors, and miss opportunities as a result.

This webinar, part of ALNAP’s ongoing webinar series on urban crises, is jointly organised with the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities (JLI), a network of actors who do research on religion, humanitarianism and development. The webinar will bring together a panel of speakers from ALNAP and JLI Member organisations, to share experiences engaging local faith actors in urban response, and to answer questions from the audience.

MakeCity 2018 Festival: Cities for People? Making City and the Civic Economy Discussion

June 14, 2018

Beyond bottom-up vs top-down thinking, this event will look at new alliances between civic society and city governments that help develop working tools for affordable housing, and work towards socially viable and diverse cities. What is the key to participatory urban policies? How can an empowered civic society, actively involved in urban development, also influence the question of new social contracts for cities?

These topics will be discussed with mayors and representatives of reformist European cities.
