- Since its inception the Baháʼí Faith has had involvement in socioeconomic development beginning by giving greater freedom to women, promulgating the promotion of female education as a priority concern, and that involvement was given practical expression by creating schools, agricultural coops, and clinics. Current development activities worldwide are related to areas such as education, health, agriculture, arts and media, the local economy and the advancement of women. By 2017 there were an estimated 40,000 small-scale local projects, 1,400 sustained projects with administrative structure (e.g. schools, radio stations, gardens), and 135 Baháʼí-inspired development organizations (e.g. FUNDAEC, New Era High School).
