Relief and Development Forum
Improving practice among those working in relief and development
Who is it for?
This forum is for all those working in relief and development from a Christian perspective both practitioners and managers.
What is the focus?
Relief and development issues are addressed from a Christian distinctive perspective. Topics are chosen by the planning group, helped by suggestions from members of the forum. The forum is an opportunity for networking and mutual learning. In addition, we have arranged special training seminars, or masterclasses. Both the forum and the masterclasses aim to lead to better practice.
