As with all budget support projects, Canada is working in close cooperation with other donors and the Government of Senegal to promote effective, transparent, and accountable country systems; increase donor coordination and harmonization; and strengthen mutual accountability. Budget support also fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, which helps to strengthen efforts for effective, focussed aid, and long-term development results. This project is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.

This project supports the Office of the Special Envoy to the Secretary General (OSESG) in Myanmar to address critical gaps in strategic communications. With Canada’s support, the Special Envoy' office seeks to establish a strategic communication unit consisting of: (1) a communications and media officer; and (2) a Myanmar communications and analysis officer. Since the military coup in February 2021, there has been a proliferation of mis- and disinformation campaigns targeting internally displaced people, refugees and peacebuilders inside and outside the country. It is critical that the OSESG produces timely, credible, and transparent communications. Project activities include: (1) supporting the Special Envoy’s Office to ensure accurate and transparent messaging is communicated to intended audiences; and (2) reporting through local and international media to cover Special Envoy’s narratives and activities accurately and constructively.
