Announcement Description

My Village (MVi) is a Cambodian nonprofit, non-government organization that was founded in November 2006 and officially registered with the Ministry of Interior on 25th January 2007. MVi is operating its programs in the northeast provinces of Cambodia, particularly in Mondulkiri, Kratie, and Stung Treng.

With financial support from Save the Children (SCi), MVi has a project: SIDA 2.0 CSO Project Civil Society Strengthening Programme for Children’s Rights which is effective from 1 Nov 2025 to 31 December 2028. This project aims to empower civil society actors, including children, to claim civic space and hold duty-bearers accountable for child rights through improved laws, policies, CSOs collaboration, and GEDSI capacity. This is achieved through enhancing the capacity of civil society actors and children to monitor, report, and follow up on commitments via shadow reports, monitoring initiatives, and joint actions and strengthening their ability to actively influence policies, laws, budgets, and services through strategic recommendations, regional advocacy, and core organizational support.

As part of its commitment to safeguarding vulnerable populations, MVi is initiating a comprehensive study to examine the state of child rights among indigenous communities in 12 villages, four communes, and 1 district, Mondulkiri Province. To understand these child rights issues in indigenous communities, MVi is seeking a qualified national consultant/research team to conduct a situation analysis of child rights, including indigenous children related to environmental degradation, changing climatic conditions, limited access to quality social services, traditional social norms, Child, Early, and Forced Marriage (CEFM), and budget allocation for child rights.
