Announcement Description

DCA established its first office in Cambodia in 1997 after having supported partners since its inception in 1979. Currently, DCA's global strategy focuses on three areas: 'Fight Extreme Inequality' supporting active citizenship and human rights work, 'Save lives' focused on flood and drought humanitarian response, and 'Build Resilient Communities' boosting right to food, sustainable livelihoods, and agroecological food system. DCA approach is working through implementing partners, both NGOs and line Ministries. Up to 2025 DCA Cambodia is cooperating with more than 22 partners to implement various projects.

In an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving development landscape, civil society organisations (CSOs) are facing unprecedented challenges. The significant shifts in the global funding environment in 2025 — including shrinking donor budgets, increased competition for resources, and a growing emphasis on localisation — require organisations to pause, reflect, and adapt. For CSOs in Cambodia to remain effective, relevant, and resilient, it is essential they reassess their current resource strategies and build stronger, more sustainable models for the future.

This consultancy represents the first step in a broader process to support local CSOs in navigating a changing operational and funding landscape. The consultant will conduct a rapid assessment of eight organisations, providing valuable insights into their current resource mobilisation and financial management practices. As part of this process, the consultant will also provide an overview of current and emerging funding trends affecting civil society, both locally and globally. The findings will inform the design of future capacity-strengthening support. By creating space for honest reflection and offering strategic guidance through the assessment process, the consultancy will help lay the groundwork for CSOs to diversify funding sources, strengthen their financial foundations, and enhance their ability to deliver sustainable, long-term impact.
