THE ADVOCACY AND POLICY INSTITUTE
A leading Cambodian NGO active in advocacy, policy influencing, capacity building, good governance and dialogue facilitation between citizens and state actors
With $600K from DCA & Bread for the World, this project empowers citizens, especially marginalized groups, to engage in public planning & accountability.
This Report presents the consolidated results of two projects, the East-West Management Institute, Inc. (EWMI)-funded Internet Monitoring and Action Project (iMAP) (2021-2024),implemented by API, and the USAID-funded Civil Society Support (CSS) Project (2021-2025),implemented by FHI 360 and the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL).
The USAID-funded project ($380,000) in Ta Khmao, Kandal, aims to enhance citizens’ capacity to request public information, network for collective action, and develop community solutions using modern tech solutions.
Online news sites and other websites are periodically blocked in Cambodia, particularly those that disseminate information that could be perceived as a threat to the ruling government. However, all of these platforms should be accessible from all networks 24 hours a day in order to promote Digital Rights and Freedom of Expression through online platforms, especially for social media and all websites.

We build capacity, that is, we help civil society organisations and individual citizens, especially women, youth and disadvantaged groups, to voice their concerns, influence policy and make the government respect their rights and address their needs.
We encourage citizens to actively participate in decision making processes and hold local authorities and service providers accountable. We also advocate for the transfer of government functions to the local level.
We campaign for the disclosure of public information on critical issues at both the local and the national level, and we keep up our advocacy efforts for the law on access to public information to be finally passed by Parliament.
Beside trainings, API also offers various other on-demand capacity building and consulting services tailored for the needs of civil society and community based organisations.
