Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we present the results of a scoping review in which we examined the scientific literature (2010–2021) on faith-based organizations (FBOs) working within the field of poverty alleviation, focusing on the way studies define and use the term FBO. Fifty-two relevant studies were identified and included. Our research shows that the term FBOs is primarily used in American studies. Moreover, there is no broad consensus on the exact definition or meaning of the term nor on its scope. Because of this lack of consensus and the inherent shortcomings of the term, we suggest to replace the term FBO by the term “religion-based solidarity initiatives” (RSIs), We define RSIs as: “Initiatives that, from a religious inspiration, aim at organizing collective action for and/or providing support or services to people in vulnerable positions.” These initiatives can range from small scale ad hoc initiatives till large scale formal organizations.KEYWORDS: Faith-based organizationsdefinitionpovertysolidarityreligion Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. We left out the five articles that are literature reviews from the table.2. When the definition of specific author(s) is used more than once, we give the complete the first time it appears in the table; on subsequent occasions we mention the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis scoping review is part of the SOLIGION project (2021–2024) funded by the FWO project number: S006621N

基于信仰的组织与扶贫:定义和术语的范围审查(2010-2021)

在本文中，我们对2010-2021年在扶贫领域工作的基于信仰的组织(FBO)的科学文献进行了范围审查，重点研究了FBO一词的定义和使用方式。确定并纳入了52项相关研究。我们的研究表明，fbo一词主要用于美国研究。此外，对该术语的确切定义或含义及其范围也没有广泛的共识。由于缺乏共识和这个术语的固有缺陷，我们建议用“基于宗教的团结倡议”(rsi)来代替FBO一词，我们将rsi定义为:“基于宗教的启发，旨在为弱势群体组织集体行动和/或提供支持或服务的倡议。”这些计划可以从小规模的特别计划到大规模的正式组织。关键词:信仰组织、定义、贫困、团结、宗教披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。我们从表中省略了5篇文献综述。当特定作者的定义使用了一次以上时，我们在表中给出第一次出现的完整定义;在随后的场合，我们提到了作者。本范围审查是由two项目资助的SOLIGION项目(2021-2024)的一部分，项目编号:S006621N
