The UK supports the full implementation of the Algiers Accord of 2015 which cites respect for religious freedom as one of its core principles. In addition the UK has supported a Community Reconciliation and Peacebuilding Project for the past three financial years, which works with communities, including mixed faith communities, in Mali to promote mutual understanding and reduce conflict.
