Development and Peace reconciles with two exiled partners May 7, 2021
“Two partners were cleared in early March,” Development and Peace deputy executive director Romain Duguay told
The Catholic Register in an e-mail. “Also, the remaining 22 are not monolithic. Each one of them is different and unique. If they have projects that they want to work with us on, they are free to approach us for funding and support.”
Lines of communication with those partners cut at the end of a three-year review of 205 partner organizations for “conflict with the Church’s social and moral teachings” have remained open, Duguay said.
“I believe that the 22 remaining partners, with whom we have not stopped conversing, have a pathway back onto our rosters,” he said. “We have communicated it clearly that all partners can come back once we make a few changes to our partnership criteria, processes and policies. Those changes are already underway and should be fully implemented
