Abstract
By looking empirically at one concrete faith-based developmental initiative, the aim

of this study is to investigate the ways in which religion is present and influence

development in faith-based development work, so as to gain a better understanding of the

relationship between these concepts. Even though this assignment will focus mainly on

religious influence on development, where my material allows it, I will also comment on the

influence that development has on religion. It is important to stress that by influence, I do

not refer to any potential causal effects between the two, but the potential ways in which

they mutually nuance, challenge or redefine each other.

The project I have chosen is the Programme de Lutte contre le VIH/SIDA (PLS) run by

the Eglise Evangelique Lutherienne au Cameroun (EELC). This is a developmental project

within health, which is a core category within contemporary development discourse.

Religion is of particular interest to the health- category because of the central role played by

religious actors (Haynes 2007:172). Furthermore, this church- run project is mainly funded

through the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), through the

Norwegian Missionary Society (NMS).
