ActionAid started its first informal journey in Cambodia in 1999. Its focus was to identify people's groups from various provinces all over the country, strengthen their capacity and link them with networks and movements within Cambodia and the South East Asia region.
However, ActionAid began its formal country office in Cambodia in July 2004 and, since then, has evolved strategic long-term partnership with different people's groups, government, and NGOs across the country.
Partnership
Currently, we work with 19 long term local partners in 15 provinces, who actively work to ensure the realisation of the people’s right to food, gender equality and equality and just and democratic governance. Additionally we work with national networks and platforms to promote aid effectiveness; promoting rights in schools, rights of PLHIV, issues of debt; women’s political, social and economic rights; rights to land, fisheries and forest.
We will also focus on the development of an alternative development strategy for Cambodia, as well as further our work on the debt issue as well as climate change.
