Introduction
The NGO Forum on Cambodia is a
membership organisation for local and international non govern- mental organisations (NGOs) working in Cambodia. It exists for information
sharing, debate and advocacy on priority issues affecting Cambodia’s
development.
All NGO Forum projects seek to build NGO
cooperation for advocacy by facilitating the activities of an NGO
network.
The Core Programme brings together member
NGOs in member meetings, and covers the NGO Forum’s core representational
role. It also provides the governance, management and
administrative support for the whole NGO Forum programme.
The Development Issues Programme contains
the Development Policy Project, which works with all sectors of NGOs
to prepare for the annual government-donor Consultative Group
meeting, to monitor the National Strategic Development Plan
(Cambodia’s PRSP), to provide input to the Government-Donor
Coordination Committee, and to contribute to other multi-sectoral
policy processes. The Development Issues Programme also contains
the Gender Project and the Trade and Economic Development Project,
which promote dialogue and advocacy on these crosscutting issues.
The Environment Programme deals with environ- mental awareness and
protection, pesticides reduction and sustainable agriculture, and the
impacts of dam developments in the Mekong Basin.
The Land and Livelihoods Programme
and the Environment Programme deal with specific land and
environmental issues, these being the critical issues that NGO Forum
members have encouraged NGO Forum to directly address.
The
Land and Livelihoods Programme facilitates advocacy with regard to
land titling and land grabbing, indigenous minority land rights,
resettlement and housing rights, and forest livelihoods and
plantations. A new project under this Programme will help to
enhance information collection on land and state property issues.
