USAID’s Strategic Religious Engagement Policy

InterAction and USAID cordially invite you to a hybrid fireside chat between Dr. Peter Mandaville, USAID’s Senior Advisor for Faith Engagement, and Tom Hart, InterAction's President and CEO.

During the conversation, Dr. Mandaville will highlight USAID’s Strategic Religious Engagement Policy along with a suite of new resources designed to strengthen the capacity of the USAID workforce to better engage religious actors.

Following the fireside chat, a panel discussion with the leadership of several prominent NGOs will explore steps they have taken to institutionalize engagement with religious actors as well as recommendations for how USAID and other donors can improve engagement and collaboration with faith-based and community organizations.

There will also be an opportunity for Q&A with the panelists, so in-person attendance is highly encouraged!

Veena Reddy, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Inclusive Growth, Partnerships, & Innovation, USAID

• Doug Fountain, Executive Director, CCIH
• Tessie San Martin, CEO, FHI 360
