In its initial focus on the relationship between western nations and predominantly Muslim populations, the Alliance has established priority areas for its programming.

These include the political factors that contribute to extremism, the effects of media and education on mutual understanding, and the key population sectors of youth and immigrant communities.

The Alliance has conducted outreach to organizations, activists, policy-makers, and scholars who are working or conducting research in these fields. Their experience and expertise will helps to inform our own work in these areas.
