Since the JLI started in 2012, the evidence base on religions and development has grown, with much of the evidence emerging from small scale, qualitative, and in-depth research. I will write a short report that outlines the key facts and figures, from reliable sources, on religions in international development work, with a supporting excel that details all the documents and sources reviewed. By the end I will have 10-15 page final report on the review of quantitative evidence, that will go towards the final larger scale “State of the Evidence” report in 2021.
