Brief History

The first meeting of the Women, Faith and Development Alliance took place in June 2006 when 30 representatives from interfaith and development organizations gathered at Washington National Cathedral to begin an inquiry into the unique impact that combining faith, development and women's communities could make on global poverty and gender equality. An initial working group guided early discussions and since then, nearly eighty organizations have actively participated and contributed to the shaping of WFDA's strategy, developing its documents and outlining its advocacy and communications platform.

We acknowledge the assistance of the organizations that have helped shape the WFDA so far. WFDA working groups meet regularly to plan the Women's World Summit scheduled for April 13-15, 2008 and to shape the advocacy and communications platform.
