In 2007-2008 CDC’s Director worked with the World Bank to help develop communication strategies for a major “Demand for Good Governance Project” that is being financed with a World Bank Credit. Beginning in July 2007, Mr. Bouhafa developed communication strategies for the 4 State Institutions (SI’s)involved in the project, as well as a strategy for the project as a whole. The four Sis involved in the project are – Ministry of Interior; Cambodia National Radio; Arbitration Council; and Ministry of National Assembly & Senate Relations and Inspection (MONASRI) . The innovative nature of the DFGG project and the current context of Cambodia call for a communication strategy that helps mobilize broader support for work on DFGG, and help sustain and expand results The project’s communication strategy works at three levels.

First it helps promote the expanded services offered by the SIs, by marketing them (using mass media, interpersonal and even entertainment channels) to wider audiences as these services develop. This helps generate positive and increased demand for these services. Second it helps bring in additional NSAs to be funded through the partnership plans in Component 1 and grant-making in Component 2. Third it will advocate for, and promote, project results and exchange of ideas among key decision makers to ensure the project’s sustainability over its 4 year span and beyond, to generate complimentary and supplementary efforts, and to deepen the understanding of demand-side approaches in Cambodia.

Strategic Communication for Economic Reform in Syria

CDC is working with GTZ and the office of the Deputy Prime Minister on a communication strategy to communicate reform to the various stakeholders in Syria. The project began with a qualitative research to assess people’s perception and awareness and concerns about the economy and what their expectations would be to help change the situation. During the research phase CDC worked with Ministers and other key officials in the Ministries most concerned with the reform to help them design and deliver communication messages to stakeholders in Syria and beyond.
