Answer
DFID has not supported any inter-faith dialogue projects as such in Tunisia. However, under the joint FCO-DFID Arab Partnership Participation Fund (APPF), the UK funded the Centre for the Study of Islam and Democracy (CSID) in Tunisia to support the development of the constitution and the electoral process (£510,210 over the last two years). One component of this work involved promoting constructive dialogue between Islamists and Secularists.
