This report provides an overview of a 3-year research project funded by the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), and centred on Delhi, Doha and London. Entitled Assessing the Effectiveness of Interfaith Initiatives, the initial aim of the research was to assess comparatively how interfaith initiatives evaluate their activities and assess their impact. The focus evolved into a broader comparative analysis of the range of factors that motivate and inform interfaith engagement across these diverse contexts, and between different religious traditions. Over the course of three years, the authors conducted ethnographic fieldwork in all three sites. This involved participant-observation at a broad range of interfaith events and extensive interviews with those involved in the wider field of interfaith. This report extends previous research carried out at the Woolf Institute on Trust in Crisis, which investigated how trust is maintained across religious and ethno-cultural communities in Paris, Berlin, Rome, and London.
