This project aims to support General Security (GS) to implement more gender-responsive and human-rights based migration management, ensuring security policy and practice is more responsive to the needs of both migrant and host communities in Lebanon, to decrease tensions and avoid outbreak of local conflict. DCAF will provide GS with knowledge of how to implement institutional policy reform in line with Lebanon’s UNSCR 1325 National Action Plan (NAP), by providing analysis of relevant frameworks and levels of GS implementation and capacity; developing migration management strategies, action and communication plans; and organizing policy debate on migration and security sector reform based on international standards and lessons learned from other contexts. DCAF will provide GS with capacities to implement new policy in line with best practice, by delivering trainings; developing SOPs; supporting establishment and staffing of new Mediation & Gender Units; and developing curricula for related diplomas at the newly established GS Academy. Finally, DCAF will ensure new GS knowledge and capacity is turned into commitment to sustained action by providing a grant scheme and technical assistance to outreach and mediation initiatives in migration-affected communities, including through coordination of outreach activities with LAF CIMIC’s civilian engagement, and facilitating liaison and exchange with other migration security stakeholders from across the Lebanese security sector and civil society.

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.
