Dialogue and interaction with religious stakeholders --- Gerard, I love the issue you raised, the dialogue with religious leaders. I associate it with another important issue, which is the effective presence of local religious organizations at the negotiating tables as local actors.

I think it is important to pay attention to these leaders and their social organizations, especially in countries where religion carries a lot of weight, as they are great opinion makers (influencers).These organizations always have a very important social assistance component.

In short, it is necessary to involve them in decision making as local actors, to ensure humanitarian assistance (even knowing that sometimes they have political and economic interests outside the humanitarian imperative). I suppose you have experiences in this regard. I would love to find out about them. Thank you.
