Understanding Inclusivity of Religious Diversity in Humanitarian Response

Category: Working Paper By: Jennifer Philippa Eggert & Olivia Wilkinson

This Working Paper by Olivia Wilkinson and Jennifer P. Eggert comes from a review of tools and guidance materials applicable to humanitarian response with regard to their inclusion or exclusion of questions on religious minorities and
religious diversity.

The authors find that there is a lack of questions tailored for humanitarians to use throughout the programme cycle that will help them analyse when and how to pay specific attention to religious diversity in their response.

The paper is divided into three sections:

  1. Background review of when inclusion of religious diversity is and is not mentioned in academic literature and policy/practice-focused reports
  2. Review of humanitarian tools and guides for the ways in which religious diversity and inclusion, FoRB, and religious minorities are considered
  3. Recommended questions for humanitarians  to think through how their work may affect religious dynamics (and vice versa), at each stage of the project cycle.
