Project Overview

Gallup, a leader in global opinion research, has recently self-funded a World Poll that gathers opinion data in the areas of Leadership, Law and Order, Food and Shelter, Work, Economics, Health, Well-Being, and Engaged Citizens from the peoples of 130 countries and areas. The World Poll continually gathers opinions around the world, following Gallup's guiding principles of independence and integrity.

The Coexist Foundation, a United Kingdom-registered charity, has a mission to promote better understanding among members of the Abrahamic faiths, and these faiths' relations with other religions and the secular world, through education, dialogue, and research.

As part of the Gallup World Poll, Gallup gathers data from the Muslim world and the West regarding people's beliefs about education, religion, culture, and democracy.

The Coexist Foundation has developed a not-for-profit relationship with The Gallup Organization. Together, these two entities share the belief that the accurate collection and dissemination of these data to key opinion leaders will lead to a better understanding between people of different faiths and cultures, and, consequently, will lead to better relations.

Gallup and the Coexist Foundation will be pursuing collaborating partners in order to advance the facilitation and dissemination of this information. The first of these collaborating partners is The Coexistence Trust, a United Kingdom-based organization of Parliamentarians, whose mission is to provide senior Muslim and Jewish political leaders with information to combat Islamophobia and anti-Semitism worldwide.
