En 2010, le Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies (Institut royal d’études interconfessionnelles, RIIFS) a été désigné comme chef du réseau jordanien de la FAL. Le RIIFS a été créé en 1994 à Amman, en Jordanie, sous le patronage de Son Altesse Royale le Prince Hassan ben Talal. Le RIIFS est une organisation non gouvernementale à but non lucratif, elle offre un lieu d’étude interdisciplinaire des questions interculturelles et interreligieuses, et a pour objectif de désamorcer les tensions et de promouvoir la paix, à l’échelle régionale et mondiale. Le RIIFS se concentre sur la promotion de valeurs humaines et éthiques communes qui contribuent à renforcer la coopération et les relations interconfessionnelles, à éliminer les idées fausses sur « l’autre » et, enfin, à développer ces points communs dans l’espoir de promouvoir une coexistence pacifique. 

Le réseau jordanien comprend 118 membres et vise à promouvoir l’acceptation du pluralisme et de la diversité culturelle, le respect mutuel entre les sociétés, les religions et les croyances, ainsi que la reconnaissance de l’État de droit et des libertés fondamentales dans la région euro-méditerranéenne. Il souhaite également faire participer des publics larges et divers à la promotion de la diversité culturelle et du dialogue interculturel.

Les activités du réseau rejoignent les intérêts et les objectifs du RIIFS ; elles couvrent un large éventail de thématiques traitées selon une approche interdisciplinaire. Celles-ci comprennent notamment le dialogue créatif à travers les arts, la sensibilisation et le renforcement des capacités des jeunes et des femmes dans différents domaines, la citoyenneté inclusive, l’aide à la création de collaborations et de partenariats dans la région euro-méditerranéenne, ainsi que la cartographie des domaines d’intervention prioritaires et des synergies entre les acteurs du dialogue.
