NGO Forum on Cambodia’s Homepage in english; and Homepage in local language.

The NGO Forum has employed a full-time Representative since 1995. Since that time, the Representative and core staff have played an essential role in organising discussion and debate among member organisations, responding to requests for information, and representing NGOs’ perspectives on a range of development issues. The Representative (now termed “Executive Director”) represents the NGO Forum to government, donors and other bodies on the full range of NGO Forum’s concerns. As such, the Core Project is the most essential and permanent feature of the NGO Forum’s work. As the NGO Forum’s influence increased, it became necessary to create projects to better fulfil the demand for the NGO Forum’s services. Since 1998, the NGO Forum has created additional projects that look after particular sectors of the NGO Forum’s work. Thus the Core Project now provides administrative and management support to ensure effective functioning of the NGO Forum’s ten projects, each of which facilitates an NGO network on a thematic issue. Therefore, in addition to the Core Project’s representational role, the Core Project provides essential back up to the projects, without which the projects would be unable to function.
