EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

To reform the way development aid is managed and delivered and to make it more effective indelivering development results, the world governments and donor community committed to work

together towards five partnership principles: ownership; alignment; harmonization; managing for

results; and mutual accountability. These principles were agreed upon in the Paris Declaration on Aid

Effectiveness and endorsed by governments of developing countries and international donorcommunity in Paris in 2005. To make the principles and commitment of Paris Declaration become real,

the development partners and government had pledged in the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) in 2008

to deepen engagement of CSO in development process.

In 2009 and 2010, the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) had received financial supports

from MDSP/UNDP and 2015 Alliance Partners to support Aid Effectiveness Project. Through thissupport CCC has implemented five regional training workshops and several multi-stakeholders

workshops/dialogues aimed to build the capacity of NGOs across Cambodia on Paris Declaration

Principles and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) on Aid Effectiveness.

Currently, with financial support from Reality of Aid (ROA), 2015 Alliance, and others, CCCcontinues to implement the project named Moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development

Effectiveness. The ultimate goal of this project is to contribute to the success of aid effectiveness anddevelopment effectiveness agenda in Cambodia.

One of a series of meetings/workshops/consultations is to conduct 2 NGO Network/CoalitionMeetings. The first meeting was hosted on 23 September 2010 at Mittapheap Hotel, Phnom Penh with

25 NGO representatives from NGO sectoral/network and NGO provincial networks. The meeting was

to discuss about the project of Moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness and their

involvement, to build deepen understanding of the participants on Aid Effectiveness and DevelopmentEffectiveness in Cambodia, and to discuss pm case studies development and AAA monitoring.

As result from this meeting, based on the feedback and observation, the participants have learned aboutthe project plan and expected results, and deepen understanding concepts and trends of moving from

aid effectiveness to development effectiveness. The meeting has formed a working group, NGO

representatives, to oversight the coming case studies development. The working group will playimportant roles in ensuring the quality of case studies and inputs to the project implementation. Key

issues/sectors to be documented as case studies were identified and matrix for AAA monitoring was

also discussed for further improvement.

2.1. Welcome Remarks:Mr Lun Borithy, Executive Director of CCC, provided his welcoming remarks to all the presentparticipants. He explained how the development effectiveness agenda differs from traditional debates

regarding aid effectiveness. He reminded the events we have so far and today meeting are great the

great opportunity for us to generate inputs and build collective voice as one of the development actors

in order to influence our development partners and government and contribute to global processes for

improving the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized populations in Cambodia and around the globe.

He invited all the participants to remain positive and promote constructive reflections, debates and toprovide their inputs to the forum. Our movement has been gradually recognized by relevant

stakeholders including government and development partners, for example, NGO representatives are

members of 15 out of 19 Technical Working Groups (TWGs). Our recent dialogue on moving fromAid Effectiveness towards Development Effectiveness had given us concrete results which will be

presented to Global CSO Development Effectiveness Forum in Istanbul, Turkey by the end of 2010.

We will continue to work to gather to document best practices/modalities to be presented to 4th

high level forum-Paris

Declaration in 2005 and the 3rd

high level forum-Accra Agenda for Action was conducted in 2008. He

also highlighted about the revolution of aid management in Cambodia as bellow:

His presentation also highlighted that NGOs have played active and important roles in engaging with

government and development partners (e.g members of 15 TWGs, produce position papers, researches,

dialogue, etc) to inform the policy makers about development impacts at grassroots level and shape thepolicy discussion.

He highlighted that based on the NGO Forums recent study there is a need to strengthen the roles andcapacity of NGOs in representing its sector to the TWGs, Government Donors Coordination

Committee (GDCC), and Cambodia Development Cooperation Forum (CDCF). There is also a need to

build enabling environment for NGO community to exercise their rights as development actors. Weneed to revise guideline of TWG which will enable NGOs to perform their role more professionally

and effectively.

Some questions were raised by the participants to clarify their understanding on the current status of

application of the principles and commitments of PD and AAA.

Mr. Soeung Saroeun, Senior Operations and Finance Manager of CCC presented a brief update of

what NGO community driven by CCC, NGO Forum, MEDICAM, and other NGO coalition, has been

done thus far. He recalled that NGOs have done better jobs in terms of promoting the application of

Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) principles and commitments within its sector.The NGO community in Cambodia had genuinely advocated to development partners and government

of Cambodia to continuously promote and ensure enabling environment in order to make all principles

and commitments become real at both sub-national and national levels. In addition, we have

Several questions were asked by the participants to make sure that the project includes all stakeholders

in the project implementation process. And make sure that the involved participants feel ownership on

the process and results.

2.3. Group Discussions:The participants were divided in to three groups to discuss about the current status (results and

challenges) of Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) implementation in Cambodia.

The group representatives presented group discussion to a larger group. The consolidated results from

the presentation were as follow:

In general, the implementation of AAA in Cambodia was smoothly, for example, there were someengagements of NGOs in TWGs, GDCC, CDCF, etc. NGOs were able to provide inputs to the national

strategic development plan, and others. However, some significant issues need to be addressed

professionally and timely as follow:

The knowledge of AAA still limited amount government, civil society and development partners The attitude in implementation of AAA still in selective manner/approach

The consistence of three actors (government, CSOs and development partners) in implement ofAAA is still limited

Lack of equal participation from CSOs in national dialogue and country development process

Lack of opportunity to access to capacity building for TWGs and update information

Gaps of communication and lack of trust between CSOs and government

Financial constrain for CSOs

The collective voice amongst CSOs needs to be improved and coordinated

CSOs have only opportunity to present in the events but lack of meaningful participation

Lack of ownership and encouragement in policy discussion

Lack of coordination amount stakeholders Some restrictions made by provincial authorities to barrier CSOs to implement their activities

effectively

2.4. Tools for monitoring AAA:A presentation on tool for monitoring AAA was presented to the participants for their learning and

comments. He summarized that this tool is adapted from the Reality of Aid. The presentation includedthe assessment the participation of CSOs in promoting AAA, the engagement of CSOs with donors and

governments in realization of the AAA commitments.This monitoring tool contributes a frameworkand guideline for CSOs in monitoring the broad implementation of AAA and tool can be modified/

revised according to the country context.The matrix is divided into three parts corresponding to thedonor and developing country commitments stated in AAA:1. Strengthening Country Ownership over Development

2. Building More Effective and Inclusive Partnerships for Development3. Delivering and Accounting for Development Results.

After the presentation, the participants were devised into 3 groups to discuss on the draft tool formonitoring AAA. As a result the participants have suggested as follow:


8/35

Page 8

The draft monitoring tool is good since it looks at overall picture of AAA and it enables us toengage all related stakeholders in the monitoring process.

Most of the three need to revisit in order to gather necessary information within each definedcolumn.

Revisit it to make sure that terminologies used in the tools reflect completely the Cambodiancontext.

Make sure that the monitoring process includes the all stakeholders to reflect their roles in applying

the principles and commitments of PD and AAA.

There should have a Working Group to work on this and test it with some selected stakeholders totest how it works.

2.5. Formulation of Working Group:The draft term of reference for Working Group on Case Studies Development was presented. Some

suggestions were raised and at the end the ToR was approved. There was a request to have volunteers

from this meeting to participate in the WG member. There were six persons from six organizations arevolunteer to be a member of WG. They are included:

1- Mr. Leang Sophany, Program Manager of HCC2- Mr. Cheang Phea, Senior Assistant of River Kid

3- Mr. Soun Sareth, General Secretariat of CHRAC4- Mr. Keat Bunthan, Executive Director of Live and Learn

5- Mr. Kim Miratory, Program Manager of Concern (to be confirmed)

6- Mrs. Ung Yok Khorn, Executive Director of AMARA

CCC will seek further volunteers from NGO community to participate in the WG in order to make sure

the WG is representing all sectors NGO work with and able to provide comprehensive inputs to thecase studies development.

The participants suggested that the case studies should focus: Application of PD and AAA at sub-national level in general

Look at some good case studies which reflect enabled working environment

Some case studies should reflect some sectors where hinder NGO community in participating in

development process.

Case study should be reflected the reality at both grassroots and national levels.

3. CONCLUSIONBased on the evaluation sheet completed by the participants indicated that the meeting has wentsmoothly and produced concrete outputs such as the participants have better understood about PD and

AAA principles and commitments. The meeting was able to form a working group where can add a lotof values to the project and case studies development. The draft tool for monitoring AAAimplementation was also reflected for improvement.

OF DP ON AE

There is no principle on how donor fundingshould be managed by government.

Donors want to maintain diversity and workwith CSOs; donors look to the CSOs toimprove their governance

Not all donors comply with the Parisdeclaration

Many INGOs still come to Cambodia and do not

build the capacity of local NGOs. NGOs have to build our collective voices and

influence the thinking of the INGOs and DP

The monitoring matrix assesses donors and

government commitments to the AAA, from the

perspective of the CSOs.

It also assesses the participation of CSOs in

engaging with donors and governments for the

realization of the AAA commitments.

This monitoring tool contributes a framework

and guideline for CSOs in monitoring the broad

implementation of AAA in their country.
