ACFID’s recently revised Code of Conduct places explicit responsibility on all members to recognise, and respond to, intersecting drivers of inequality and marginalisation: including drivers related to gender identity, sexuality and sexual orientation.

The Sexual Rights in Development Community of Practice is being funded by the Research for Development Impact Network to undertake an action research into the specific challenges - and opportunities - that the revised Code might present for ACFID's faith-based and secular member organisations.

The research is being conducted in three parts: 1) a literature review & background discussions; 2) a Reflection Workshop for participants from faith-based organisations; 3) a shared learning workshop for participants from both faith-based and secular organisations.

This invitation is for participation in the faith-based organisation reflection workshop. Sign-up for the final shared learning workshop (open to people from faith-based and secular international development organisations) is available HERE.

This workshop will be run on Chatham House rules, enabling participants to discuss openly. The event will end with participants developing an agreed set of key messages, to be shared at the final learning workshop for faith-based and secular organisations.

Please feel free to share this invitation with any staff members that you feel would be able to contribute, on any of three levels: personal; internal organisational; and/or field-work programming and implementation.
