Location: World Council of Churches, Geneva Switzerland
Background: This meeting expanded the key issues raised in the April 2002 meeting on global religious health assets (a document summarizing that meeting is available in the IHP archive). This document demonstrates the development and clarification of methodologies for mapping religious health assets and brought core partners from Christian Health Associations in Sub-Saharan Africa and from European mission organizations to the table. In this meeting, one can see the later work on mapping religious health assets in Zambia and Lesotho carried out by the African Religious Health Assets Program (ARHAP) and IHP begin to take shape.
