Consultancy Service to Develop Toolkit on Social Enterprise, Philanthropy, and Merging Operation Modalities

Announcement Description

The Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) is recognized as the largest and longest established membership-based organization in Cambodia, comprising approximately 200 member organizations, including both domestic and foreign NGOs. CCC convenes nine specialized working groups serving as national resource hubs and collaborates closely in partnership with 16 provincial NGO network chairpersons and their respective members, total 498 NGOs.

Amid rapid and volatile global changes, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at global, regional, and national levels are increasingly affected by funding cuts. At the same time, CSOs in Cambodia face practical constraints that reduce their ability to adapt, including gaps in strategic planning, governance, results-based management, adaptive leadership, resource diversification, and partnership building. Fragmentation, duplication, and weak coordination further dilute collective impact, while private sector engagement and innovative financing models remain underdeveloped.

Following consultations with its members during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in March 2025, the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) continued discussions with its members, 7 large coalition organizations in Cambodia, and development partners on identifying guiding directions for CSOs in Cambodia, particularly CCC members, amid rapid global change. These consultations resulted in an agreement to develop a CSOs

Roadmap comprising seven modalities:

  1. Business as usual (with improvements in efficiency and effectiveness);
  2. Philanthropic initiatives;
  3. Social enterprises;
  4. Advocacy and monitoring programs;
  5. Technical assistance offices;
  6. Mergers or consortium arrangements; and
  7. Multi-major NGOs (strategic consolidation or alliances among larger NGOs).
