The project aims to strengthen press freedom for climate and environmental journalists in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Rwanda. Over a 36-month period, International Press Institute would monitor and collect data on press freedom violations, focusing on climate and environmental journalism in sub-Saharan Africa. It would establish a multi-stakeholder coalition to co-create advocacy materials to raise awareness of threats to press freedom and journalist safety, urging public and private actors to fulfill commitments to protect these rights. The coalition would also coordinate actions against attacks, including information manipulation, targeting environmental journalists, and provide capacity building and support for at-risk journalists in the region.

The project will facilitate continued support to T/PCCs and the UN, in support of the Canadian-led Elsie Initiative for Women in UN Peace Operations. The EIF was established by Canada in 2019, following the launch of the Elsie Initiative in 2017 at the Vancouver UN peacekeeping ministerial. This contribution is the last planned Canadian contribution to the EIF at this time (funding post-2027 is not yet determined) and is sourced from dedicated funding for the Elsie Initiative from the TB Submission on UN peace operations and peacebuilding (2022-2027). EIF-funded interventions have helped identify and address the various barriers faced by uniformed women in deploying to UN peacekeeping missions.

The project aims to promote peace and stability in conflict-affected states.

The project aims to increase voter resilience in the Philippines, Czechia, and Côte d’Ivoire to foreign manipulation and interference in information. Over a period of 15 months, the project will coordinate with journalists, content creators, civil society and public sector actors, as well as international partners and election observers, to develop context-specific interventions in the targeted countries, conduct tailored and gender-responsive training workshops, and provide technical support. The project will also establish and operate a monitoring and early warning team, which will set up a designated physical “situation room” in the country to detect, analyze, and disseminate information on interference patterns and relevant narratives, and develop actions to counter foreign manipulation and interference in information in these countries.
