“The aim of the Alliance is to support, through a network of partnerships, the development of projects that promote understanding and reconciliation among cultures globally and, in particular, between Muslim and Western societies. The Alliance does not intend to duplicate or replicate the work others are already doing. Rather, our goal is to help expand efforts that are already underway.”
