This project seeks to consolidate on the work undertaken by three mandates implemented under the Religion & Politics programme: the Swiss and Egyptian NGO Dialogue Project (SEND), the Montreux Initiative, and research and future dialogue platforms on the Zakat Committees in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. While substantial progress was made on all three mandates during Phase IV of the Religion & Politics programme, some of the research activities and outputs foreseen could not be realised. The CCDP, which houses the programme at the Graduate Institute since the beginning of Phase V, hereby proposes to give additional impetus to these mandates by employing a 50% Activities and Research Coordinator.
