This project aims to advance peacebuilding efforts in Sri Lanka. It contributes to the Peacebuilding Window of the United Nations Sri Lanka Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Fund. This is a multi-partner pooled Fund that aims to unlock progress towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka. The Peacebuilding Window focuses on strengthening national capacities at all levels for conflict management and laying the foundation for sustainable peace and development. Project activities include: (1) supporting women’s rights groups to preserve and expand civic space; (2) equipping media and communication professionals with tools to effectively monitor and prevent hate speech and misinformation; and (3) building capacity for existing community networks to contribute to and participate in decision-making and dialogue mechanisms at local and national levels.

The project aims to increase women and girls' access to civic and political leadership opportunities in Chile, Bolivia, Honduras, Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina to achieve better representation and gender equality. Over a 24-month period, the project would monitor and document the impact of information manipulation on women participating in electoral processes through national-level surveys and statistical analysis, conduct training and workshops to equip women candidates and activists with strategies to identify and combat gendered information manipulation, and launch awareness and advocacy campaigns to educate the public and policymakers on its effects on women's political participation. Additionally, the project would collaborate with regional partners, multi-stakeholder organizations, and tech platforms, where appropriate, to influence improved digital governance measures and policies instituted by state authorities.

This project aims to contribute to the United Nations (UN) capacity to address and mitigate misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and hate speech in peace operations. Project activities include: (1) delivering training-of-trainers courses to troop and police instructors from contributing countries and field missions; (2) supporting the UN Department of peace operations team in developing and delivering training, and supporting field personnel responsible for information operations in field missions; (3) developing and training on new tools to address and mitigate misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and hate speech in UN peace operations; and (4) strengthening strategic and digital communications to support UN peace operations.

The project will consist of a one-day conference and subsequent roundtable addressing the national security challenges posed by disinformation campaigns in regions critical to Canada, such as the Arctic and the Baltics (Latvia), with a specific focus on the use of climate-related narratives in these contexts.
