Capacity Building of Cambodia’s Local Organizations
Approach
To empower local organizations with the knowledge, skills, and tools they needed to effectively manage and allocate their resources, the program provided support to a broad range of Cambodian non-governmental organizations working in health, agriculture, and governance. IESC offered group training, customized one-on-one assistance, organizational assessments and improvement plans, and networking and other informal learning opportunities. Training and support were provided by program staff, local and international consultant experts, and IESC volunteer experts.
Summary
Cambodia is home to many non-governmental and mission-driven organizations that address the country’s challenges. This program improved the financial and organizational management of these organizations to build strong local development partners for U.S. foreign assistance initiatives. Ultimately, the program built sustainable institutions to help the country’s most vulnerable populations into the future.
