摘要最近的捐助者话语点的潜力，以信仰为基础的组织（fbos）作为“变革的代理人”，动员信仰社区的道德能量，支持千年发展目标（MDGs）。然而，这一新的捐助者驱动的议程要求对捐助机构内部组织变革的补充进程进行审查。因此，本文探讨了与联邦组织接触有关的捐助者政策和实践。虽然考虑到一些捐助者的工作，它侧重于英国国际发展部（dumble），并追溯了dumble的对fbos的兴趣从1997年开始增长的原因。它审查了英国国际发展部在进一步发展这种参与方面面临的挑战，并考虑它和其他捐助者本身是否可以成为“变革的推动者”，拥抱更少物质和更少世俗的福祉愿景以及更具文化包容性的伙伴关系方法。在最近的学术，它提出了一个良性的新兴的“信仰和发展”接口的看法，本文认为这是一个有争议的新时代精神的发展政策和话语。
Abstract Recent donor discourse points to the potential of faith-based organisations (fbos) as ‘agents of transformation’, mobilising the moral energy of faith communities in support of the Millennium Developments Goals (mdgs). This new donor-driven agenda, however, invites scrutiny of complementary processes of organisational change within donor institutions. This article therefore examines donor policy and practice concerned with engagement with fbos. While considering the work of a number of donors, it focuses on the UK Department for International Development (dfid) and traces the reasons for dfid's growing interest in fbos from 1997. It examines the challenges which dfid faces in further developing this engagement and considers whether it and others donors can themselves become ‘agents of transformation’, embracing a less material and less secular vision of well-being and a more culturally inclusive approach to partnership. In contrast to recent scholarship, which presents a benign view of the emerging ‘faith and development’ interface, this article considers it as a controversial new Zeitgeist in development policy and discourse.
