EFI focuses on the local level, engaging with faith-based communities, but within the wider framework of a national and global vision. EFI tailors its services to meet the specific needs of each faith-based institution and community.

EFI’s team is diverse in terms of expertise and experience, covering management, training, security, research and communications. Many are from ethnic minorities, giving unique insights into the communities they serve.

Integral to the way EFI works, partners include faith-based institutions, local authorities, law enforcement, national governments, social media companies, multilateral bodies and international organisations.

EFI activities range from technical assistance, capacity building, development of resources, research, to engagement and awareness-raising. Geographically, EFI works extensively in Europe, but also in North America, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
