ActionAid Cambodia

Activities and Context (Mission)

ActionAid Cambodia is part of ActionAid International. Founded in 1973, ActionAid started a full-fledged country programme in Cambodia in July 2004 along the mission “to work with poor and excluded people to eradicate poverty and injustice.” ActionAid Cambodia has been working on various human rights issues stemming from inequalities in power relations and resources and social injustice in partnership with 17 long-term partners in most 14 inaccessible and underdeveloped provinces out of the 24 provinces and towns in Cambodia. It further networks with NGOs, social movements, people's organisation and activists and critically engages with governments, international organisations and private companies to work on policy issues that its partners view as relevant and impacting upon the lives of poor and marginalised people.

Along the lines of adaptation to climate change, ActionAid Cambodia has implemented a DIPECHO project on “Strengthening Community Resilience to flood and drought in Cambodia” with financial assistance from the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Department. The project was implemented in three provinces including: Kratie (Kratie, Prekprosab districts), Svay Rieng (Svay Chrum District) and Banteay Meanchey (Malai, Ochrau, Serei Sophorn districts).
