OPINION: Ukraine war: Congress should partner with local and faith-based groups for aid
The positive impact of local and faith-based organizations on humanitarian response is tried and true. Over the past 10 months, a team of researchers at Regent University and Family Research Council have studied the relationship between religious freedom and international development. The resulting report to be released soon highlights the profoundly positive role faith-based organizations play responding to crises and fostering human flourishing. They need only to be given the space to do so.

In the face of Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine, Congress should create a robustly resourced program built along the lines of NPI, with funds set aside within the forthcoming humanitarian aid package. This would direct USAID to partner with faith-based organizations, especially those with strong local ties in effected countries.
