“…The extent to which faith is manifest in an organisation is of interest to donors, some of which 'would like a sanitised separation between the institutional and spiritual elements' (James 2009: 10), leading them to favour FBOs that are not explicit about their religiosity and do not consider conversion to be a feature of their development activity. Grills (2009), for example, writes that multilateral organisations' increased interest in engaging with FBOs presents challenges to their enlightenment ideology, with the result that they have sometimes imposed a condition that a recipient FBO removes faith activities from its programmes. While this separation of overt religious expression from development activities has been a concern of donors from countries with a history or constitutional stipulation of religion/state separation, in the context of international development, where such secularism is either different or inapplicable, its suitability needs to be questioned, since it may not reflect local relationships between religions, the state, and society.…”

“…A common estimate provided for total faith-inspired healthcare provision in Africa is 40 per cent (see Banda et al 2006, Bandy et al 2008, Deneulin and Rakodi 2011, Grills 2009, Kawasaki and Patten 2002, Rookes 2009, Tearfund 2006, Turshen 1999, Vitillo 2006, WHO 2004, Woldehanna et al 2005. Although there is some variation on this theme (sometimes also 30-40 per cent or 30-50 per cent, and sometimes addressing 'developing countries' and other times 'Africa'), the 40 per cent estimate is strongly present, and mainly addresses faith-inspired health facilities.…”

“…Another, more recent estimate, is usually stated as a range of 30-70 per cent of health services provided or owned by FIIs in Africaalthough again there are some variations of this range (see Abuom 2001, Asante 1998, Hafner 2009, Grills 2009, Samuels et al 2010, Pearl et al 2009. This ranged estimate has appeared in the literature since the 1990s, for example, in a World Bank collection, Abuom (2001:125) estimates that "… up to 70 per cent of modern health care is now managed by churches in some African countries."…”

“…The commodification of welfare services within a neoliberal economic and social environment has brought changes to the delivery of social services around the world (Ferguson, Wu, Spruijt-Metz, & Dyrness, 2007;Grills, 2009). In Canada, social-service initiatives, once the domain of local and nation states have increasingly been downloaded to community-based organizations (CBOs), the rationale being government's perceived need to cut deficits so as to make us more compatible in a globalized economy (De Sousa Santos, 2006;Midgley, 1997;Watkinson, 2001).…”
