This paper explores the role of faith identity on impact in development by looking at the programming of a major international faith‐based development organisation (FBDO). It argues that faith identity rests not only in the internal projected identity of the FBDO but also on perceptions of that identity in the community, highlighting the role context plays in the formulation of faith identity and its impact. Secondly, the paper argues that FBDOs possess not only a faith identity but also a development one and that it is the interplay between both that allows for the creation of engagement and trust in interventions.

本文通过考察主要的国际基于信仰的发展组织（FBDO）的计划，探讨了信仰认同对发展影响的作用。它认为，信仰认同不仅取决于FBDO的内部计划认同，而且还取决于社区对这一认同的看法，突出了上下文在信仰认同及其影响的形成中的作用。其次，本文认为，FBDO不仅拥有一种信仰身份，而且还拥有一种发展身份，而两者之间的相互作用使干预的参与和信任得以建立。
