The Governance Hub Program (GHP) 2024-2028 foresees strengthened partnerships and collaboration for advocacy and monitoring among diverse actors at both national and sub-national levels. This fosters an environment where civil society organizations (CSOs), government agencies, development partners, and other stakeholders work collectively to address legal frameworks, reforms, and policy implementation.

To achieve this, the GHP program emphasizes capacity building for CSOs, enabling them to effectively monitor and advocate for legal and policy compliance. Key activities include research on enabling environments, training on legal frameworks, and facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships. These efforts ensure that CSOs are equipped with the tools to advocate for reforms and provide meaningful input to policies that impact them. By promoting dialogue and cooperation among stakeholders, the program seeks to enhance civic engagement and create a more responsive and transparent governance system. Additionally, youth engagement is prioritized through initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Youth Ambassador program, which equips young leaders to implement and influence SDG processes. Through these collective efforts, this outcome addresses gaps in governance and ensures that all stakeholders play an active role in shaping Cambodia's democratic and sustainable development.

The second outcome of the GHP 2024-2028 focuses on amplifying the voice and representation of CSO networks, ensuring they have the capacity to influence policies and advocate effectively for their constituencies. Strengthening CSO networks’ strategies and operational capacities is central to this outcome. The program supports provincial NGO networks in developing and implementing strategic, advocacy, and resource mobilization plans. It also facilitates regular meetings and reflections to ensure these networks remain functional and impactful. Recognizing the importance of collaboration, the program encourages joint efforts among CSOs and fosters a unified voice to influence policymaking at national and sub-national levels.

To further enhance representation, the program provides technical support to establish and strengthen provincial community-based organization (CBO) networks. These networks bring grassroots perspectives into decision-making processes, ensuring the inclusion of marginalized communities. By creating platforms for dialogue between CSOs, government entities, and other stakeholders, this outcome seeks to bridge gaps in representation and foster trust among key actors. The ultimate goal is to empower CSOs to act as effective advocates for democratic governance and social justice, ensuring that the needs of communities across Cambodia are heard and addressed.

The third outcome of the GHP 2024-2028 ensures the establishment and functionality of CSO resource hubs at both national and sub-national levels to meet the evolving needs of civil society. These hubs serve as centralized platforms offering financial, technical, and informational resources to CSOs, enabling them to operate effectively and sustainably. At the national level, the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) enhances its role as a resource hub, providing capacity-building services, facilitating resource mobilization, and maintaining a comprehensive database of CSO activities and needs. The hubs also offer training on topics like financial management, human resource development, and digital literacy, ensuring that CSOs have access to cutting-edge tools and knowledge.

At the sub-national level, provincial NGO networks are empowered to replicate the resource hub model, providing localized support to CSOs. These hubs facilitate knowledge-sharing, foster partnerships, and enable smaller organizations to access resources that might otherwise be out of reach. The program’s emphasis on decentralization ensures that support is accessible to CSOs operating in rural and underserved areas. By building the capacity of these hubs and promoting their sustainability, this outcome strengthens the overall civil society infrastructure in Cambodia. It ensures that CSOs have the resources and support needed to advocate for their beneficiaries, contribute to policy development, and drive positive change in their communities.
