Cooperation Committee for Cambodia
Information on the purpose of your organization

The Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) is a well established and deeply respected coalition of international (INGO) and local non-governmental organizations (LNGO) in Cambodia. Since 1990, it has played a unique role in strengthening the cooperation, professionalism, accountability, governance, and development effectiveness of the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working across diverse sectors in Cambodia.

Since 2011, CCC moved away from multi-project programming portfolio to a single integrated and long range 5-year program entitled the Governance Hub Program (GHP) 2011‐2015. With the changes of new leadership and results of mid-term evaluation, and internal review, the GHP 2014-2018 and Vision 2018 has been developed through participatory approaches with collectively endorsement from CCC members and approved by CCC Executive Committee (EXCOM) in the last quarter of 2013. The new GHP sharpens its vision, mission, goal, objectives, key areas of interventions and working approaches as in summary below.
Vision: Sustainable Development for Cambodia.
Mission: CCC provides high quality services to civil society and influences Cambodia?s development actors.
Values: CCC promotes and adheres to the following five values: Integrity - Responsiveness - Cooperation ? Quality ? Inclusiveness
Goal: A strong and capable civil society, cooperating and responsive to Cambodia?s development challenges.
Outcomes:
1. Improved quality of CSO services
2. Improved enabling environment for CSOs
3. Increased collaboration among CSOs
4. Increased capacity of CCC in performing its roles as CSO coordinator, networker and advocate
To reach the goal and expected outcomes, CCC will play role as a coordinator, networker, and advocate for civil society and other development actors, and will focus on:
1. Enhancing CSO governance and effectiveness: by promoting application of Istanbul Principles on CSO development effectiveness and good governance principles and standards of good practice, and sustainability within CCC members and civil society;
2. Fostering enabling environment and partnership: by coordinating the implementation of a social accountability plan and decentralization, and supporting the adaptation of inclusive partnership principles, a rights-based approach, capacity development, and enabling legal frameworks for all development actors.

The GHP will provide benefits directly to at least 1,000 individual organizations, networks/coalitions/alliances and the CSOs as a whole and at least 2,000 other development actors such as Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), people?s organizations, academe, government institutions, private sector, political parties and development partners.
Additionally, at least two million target beneficiaries of CCC members, participant organizations and other working partners will be beneficial from CCC and a strong, capable, cooperating and responsive civil society in Cambodia.

In Cambodia, the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) has been taking a leading role in promoting the awareness and participation of civil society and other stakeholders in the post-2015 process. CCC has implemented many projects which were funded by relevant sources such as from the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP), Cambodia United Nations Country Team, Beyond 2015 to touch on different aspects of the post-2015 process ranging from consultation workshops, dissemination workshops, public forum, youth mock parliament etc. One of the remarkable achievements of CCC was from the implementation of GCAP?s project in 2014 which mainly touched upon the action/2015 campaigns on ?iMove against corruption and impunity for poverty reduction in Cambodia?. This campaignswere congratulated by all stakeholders in both national and sub-national levels since corruption and impunity have been treated as the cross-cutting issues which hinder the development progress. The campaigns have been conducted in four provinces and in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia.

Toward the end of September when the new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be publicly declared, CCC plans to conduct further activities to: promote public awareness on the post-2015 development agenda and its progress so far, promote participation from youth groups and provincial NGO networks in the post-2015 process, promote discussion among development actors (including private sector) on financing for development, mutually identify accountability mechanism for all stakeholders involved in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and conduct public campaign to amplify the perspectives and key asks from civil society and the public on the post-2015 development agenda.

Information on activities at the national or international levels
Since the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will expire by December 2015, the United Nations is in the process of defining a post-2015 development agenda. There have been numerous inputs to the agenda collectively made by various development actors including the assigned UN agencies, national governments, development partners, and civil society organizations. From those efforts, a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was proposed and these goals will be launched at its Summit in September 2015, which is the target date for realizing the MDGs.

As a co-convener of the Asia Development Alliance (ADA), the Asian Regional Coordinator for Beyond 2015, and partner of GCAP and CIVICUS, CCC has conducted and engaged in many events and campaigns at both national and global levels related to the process of contents of sustainable development goals. Notably, global processes were done related to SDGs and its means of implementation included the inter-government negotiation, consultation, and international conference. The recent (third) international conference on Financing for Development was conducted on 13-16 July 2015, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, gathered high-level political representatives from the Government, development partners, as well as all relevant institutional stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and business sector entities.

As a member state of the United Nations, all development actors in Cambodia need to prepare themselves to work inclusively to support the short coming SDGs. Currently, CCC is implementing an action/2015 and Beyond 2015 campaign project funded by Civicus and Africa Disability Alliance (ADA) to promote stakeholders awareness and inclusive participation in the post-2015 development agenda. Along with the recommendation from research advisory board in this review, now we are seeking any interest RAB member and/or other competent consultancies who experiences on this relevant issues to review related to legal procedures and policies, and development issues and then generate appropriate mechanism and recommendation for strategic support on Financing for Sustainable Development Goal, for representative from Cambodia participation in September 2015 meeting.
