CommGAP, in partnership with other donors, provides long-term comprehensive communication support to select governance-related projects and programs. Examples of this support include: providing technical assistance to the World Bank’s first stand-alone governance project, Cambodia’s Demand for Good Governance Project; comprehensive communication support to the post-conflict states such as Sierra Leone and Liberia; and helping to strengthen Bangladesh’s institutions of accountability and demand-side governance.

The Program provides funding for international and local consultants for technical assistance and capacity building and for program development and implementation, developing and delivering training and capacity building, and sponsoring awareness-raising seminars and advocacy workshops that may be required to build consensus or political will for the program.

Projects are evaluated through a rigorous framework developed in collaboration with experts at Johns Hopkins University. Outcome indicators are identified and monitored to help evaluate the contribution of communication interventions so that results and lessons can be distilled in case studies, which in turn feed into advocacy materials and the training and capacity-building program.
