CCC’s vision is for a strong and capable civil society, cooperating and responsive to Cambodia's development challenges. Through the Governance Hub Program (GHP), CCC’s pledges are to work with a broad range of actors, including our esteemed members, so that CSO’s work and voice truly serve the needs and demand of the poor and vulnerable people of Cambodia in a society where democratic values live up to international standards.

I am very honored and highly privileged to take on this exciting challenge to lead such a dynamic and professional organization. My passion vision is to augment institutional effectiveness toward true development effectiveness and sustainable growth for Cambodians through the implementation of the GHP between now and 2015. I strongly believe in "inclusive partnership” in which CSOs, media, private sector, development partners, and government can co-exist with equal say and equal rights to better serve the interests of Cambodia and Cambodians.  Equipped with more 20 years of experience, CCC’s professional capital is diverse in both strategic in broad engagement, facilitation and advocate to undo complex issues which are affecting the CSO community. We are highly committed and stand ready to cooperate with you all.

I hope that this website helps you to learn more about CCC’s work and its uniqueness as well as access to the resources and knowledge we provide. CCC is pleased to continue working with you and receiving your support.

Who we are, what we do

While the development of Cambodia continues to face numerous challenges, one of the most critical is the challenge posed by Cambodia’s lack of inherent and pervasive good governance. This includes the NGO sector, where CCC recognizes that low adherence to the ethics of accountability and transparency undermines and compromises the sector’s capacity to demonstrate its full potential as a powerful development actor. Some of our key interventions intertwine with global CSO movements advocating for an enabling environment for CSOs, and asserting the relevance and legitimacy of CSOs as genuine development actors within their own right.

CCC works through a variety of channels to achieve its goals of:

As it has over the past 21 years, CCC will keep delivering on its mission, through active liaison on NGO matters with the Royal Government of Cambodia; through building strong and effective relationships with international and local NGOs, NGO networks, and donor agencies; through representation of NGOs at consultative group meetings; conducting members’ information meetings; housing and managing its resource centre; publishing information directories, research studies and surveys; and by providing support services for the NGO community in Cambodia.
