      abstract = {Although there is growing interest in the role of religion  in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs), Agenda 2030, very few studies have focused on the  contributions of interfaith networks. Most of the  contemporary publications on religion and development focus  on single religions or faith-based organizations. This  volume addresses the lacuna in the available scholarship by  undertaking detailed analyses of how interfaith networks in  diverse African contexts contribute to development.  Chapters in this volume engage in theoretical debates on  interfaith networks and development, while describing  concrete, fresh case studies on how particular interfaith  networks are contributing towards the meeting of the SDGs  in specific contexts. Thus, the volume describes older and  newer interfaith networks and analyses their achievements  and challenges. Contributors focus on SDGs that include  peacebuilding, gender, youth, the environment, as well as  overviews of interfaith initiatives in different African  contexts. Ezra Chitando is a Professor of History and  Phenomenology of Religion at the University of Zimbabwe,  and World Council of Churches Theology Consultant on HIV  and AIDS in Africa. Ishanesu Sextus Gusha was formerly a  senior lecturer from University of Zimbabwes Department of  Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics. He is now parish priest  in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in the Anglican Diocese in  Europe.},
