Advocacy Expert Training

Public officials currently still have a limited understanding of the right to access public information. Misconceptions about this topic are still widespread, generally being only based on superficial coverage during television and radio programmes or on social media. This training aims to build the capacity of sub-national government officials and local councillors on the key contents of the draft for an A2I law and other relevant legislation, as well as on the guidelines to be implemented in the field of information management and disclosure to support the open government initiative. During the course, our trainers will explain the positive impact of information release, and participants will share their experience and their current practices of information disclosure. As a result, they will become familiar with their roles and duties in disclosing information, the procedures of requesting and supplying information, the concept of confidential information, the complaint mechanisms available, and the sanctions the new draft law stipulates for non-compliance and failure to disclose public information. The course also aims at teaching public officials how to manage information in insightful ways, using modern technology.

Implementing the Social Accountability Framework (I-SAF) is a broad reform package assumed by the Government of Cambodia and aimed at improving the quality of public services by making administration officials and service providers more responsive and sensitive to the needs and rights of citizens. Citizens are the final beneficiaries of these services, and they have the right to hold the providers accountable, assess the quality of the services and participate in decisions concerning these fields.

Change the Game Academy

Local Fundraising

The main goal of the course is to strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations when they engage in local fundraising and local resource mobilization. The main target group are organisations with no or only little experience in these fields. But even if more relevant experience is available, we are convinced that the participants will still find the information, tools and exercises offered in this course extremely useful. The training deploys a blended learning approach, that is a combination of face to face classroom sessions, e-learning tools and materials, as well as collective and individual coaching. This training package is also organised in partnership with the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) and it is part of the programme called “Change the Game Academy”, funded by the Wilde Ganzen Foundation (Netherlands).
