Bahá’í International Development Organization
From Bahaipedia
The Bahá’í International Development Organization is an institution which was established by the Universal House of Justice in 2019. Its purpose is to facilitate learning about development by fostering and supporting action, reflection on action, study, consultation, the gathering and systematization of experience, conceptualization, and training in the light of the Teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.
It succeeded the Office of Social and Economic Development, established in 1983, in overseeing the promotion and coordination of social and economic development efforts of the Bahá’í community. It is headed by a board of directors appointed for five year terms who draw on the Bahá’í Development Fund which was established alongside the new body.
