ForumCiv Cambodia suppored the communities that are in remote areas or less served by development support, are self-relying, have agency, and can exert and fulfil their rights to governance over their natural resources, improving their livelihood, influencing democratic society, enacting gender equality, and becoming more resilient to environmental and climate changes.
Examples of what ForumCiv contributed to
ForumCiv Cambodia supported the role of civil society in marginalized communities, particularly to support community based organizations to be fully inclusive so that as many community members as possible are being represented. It is the community members who should be fully engaged to identify the needs and problems to be addressed, and be supported so they can learn, organize themselves, and build the necessary partnerships to promote sustainable development and democratic society.
Over the years we are proud to have been part of:
- Supporting 271 communities.
- Supported legal registration of 56 organizations.
- Supported communities that provided protection of 716 thousand hectares of forest,
- Which spared 42,2 million tons of carbon from polluting the air.
Strengthening civil society and local communities to increase their influence over decision making has improved environmental and climate impacts as well as combating poverty. For example, in the context where indigenous people derive their livelihood from natural resources, food security and incomes have improved. In some areas such as Save Cambodia’s Wildlife’s direct target communities, poverty rates have been cut down to half, from 17.6% to 9.5%.
