DPA Humanitarian Capacity development plan The DPA humanitarian capacity development programme, is a partnership project between CAFOD, DPA and Oxfam Novib. CAFOD will support DPA’s capacity development action plan which has been developed to enable them to respond more effectively and efficiently to any future emergencies in compliance with international humanitarian principles and standards. Oxfam will also provide technical support and funding.
DPA considers itself as a dual mandate organization therefore this project will support them to shift its role from development to emergency response. This capacity development intervention is targeting all these relevant teams to develop their capacity in order for them to be able to contribute to DPA’s humanitarian work. The HCD programme will support DPA to clarify responsibilities and communication flow during emergencies and review strategic plans (SP) to include humanitarian and emergency preparedness strategies and ensure adherence to international humanitarian standards. Also to ensure stability DPA will develop more collaboration and relationship with government disaster management agencies and other stakeholders where the community based DRR programme is operating.
Capacity building to help partners in Cambodia address gender challenges There is a strong gender-imbalance in Cambodian society which means that girls and women have access to fewer opportunities and wield little decision-making power in their relationships and communities. Gender based violence among young people is rapidly increasing. Current HIV prevention campaigns are not adequately gender-sensitive and often do not consider the underlying patterns of behaviour and inequality within relationships between men and women which contribute to HIV prevalence. However, CAFOD partners are increasingly recognising the need to address these underlying gender inequalities. CAFOD partners are also reporting that issues of gender based violence and unequal relations between men and women are affecting non-HIV activities, such as working with indigenous communities to secure land tenure in resource-rich areas. 

This project will adopt and build on the Communities of Practice approach that CAFOD has previously used to support three HIV partners to develop best practice in gender based community prevention approaches. It will also support two non-HIV partners to consider and address unequal gender relations within their community-based programme activities.

The Communities of Practice will be facilitated by long term CAFOD partner Karol and Setha. K&S run an educational programme aimed at adolescents, young adults and couples/ parents, seeking to address issues relating to sexuality and relationships. Through training for youth, teenagers, partners and NGO staff, K&S aims to enhance positive gender relationships by giving an opportunity for people to better understand themselves, their relationships and relationship dynamics in order to contribute to gender harmony, peace and development in society.  The K&S approach promotes critical thinking and the provision of full and accurate information to increase people’s sense of responsibility and help them to make thoughtful choices, adjust their behaviour patterns and resist peer pressure. K&S will adapt this approach to support other CAFOD partners to integrate gender sensitivity into their programmes. 

The CoP will include two 5-day trainings, two 2-3 day strengthening trainings and four follow up sessions. The strengthening sessions will allow K&S to accompany the partners in utilising what they have learnt during the 5-day trainings in action planning, such as the development of gender mainstreaming strategies within their organisations.
Organizational capacity strengthening to KBO KBO has been able to support some improvements in the health of the communities in Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, and Kampong Thom. Many of the farmers they work with have moved to a System of Rice Intensification (SRI) process which promotes farming without chemicals and has resulted in a reduction in the use of chemicals for many farmers. KBO helps to bring voices which are often excluded or marginalised to an international audience and CAFOD’s supporters in England and Wales. Also, KBO are working on natural resource management and environment care.

This project has been initiated to address the organizational issues of KBO that they still needs to improve its organizational system and program implementation that more focus on the financial system and organizational learning from other NGOs/institutions who work on the same field or sector.
Covid-19 emergency response and recovery for poor communities in Pursat and Banteay Mean Chey The project is to reach out to respond to needs of the affected people, mainly youth and young adults, who had returned to their villages and are unemployed as a result of Covid-19. Over 800,000 Cambodian migrant workers from Thailand alone have had to return home and have lost their incomes since March 2020. The main Covid impact on Cambodia is economic as it is heavily dependent on garment industry which has been hit hard by cancellations/non-payment of orders. Many former garment workers mostly young people have also returned to their hometowns increasing burdens on farmer families to find food to feed all their members.

Partner has conducted impact survey in target communities to understand real issues and needs of community people. Interviews and meetings were conducted with all groups of people, local authorities, youth and young adults migrants who have returned home, poor farmers, school directors, and students, for providing them the opportunity to discuss about challenges, to find a solution and to seek any alternative way to support each other.

The project objectives are:
- To support farmers for creation Self-Help Group's fund and loans that can give to these affected people who are willing to get back into small and sustainable agriculture. 
- To provide support to farmers for setting up the SRI cultivation, chicken rearing and home gardening on their land or on hired land for youth in the communities as necessary. Instead of hiring machines, the work will have to be done manually by these affected people for which they will be paid.

This project is specifically targeting group of people those who need immediate jobs to get food and income to survive. The project will support farmers on chicken rearing, vegetable growing, hiring land for the poor to grow rice,  providing some for emergency food for the poorest farmer who face food shortage, and raising people awareness on hygiene and sanitation related behavior changes to prevent Covid-19.
Organizational capacity strengthening to COCD COCD is one of local partners that CAFOD is working with in Cambodia in strengthening communities with knowledge, skills, confidence, and resources. COCD has a strong commitment to support community people needs in different areas based on their expertise and experiences; however, throughout the project implementation, we have learnt that COCD need to strengthen capacity on project management especially project monitoring and evaluation and evidencing outcomes reporting to enable them run project more efficiency and to capture changes from their intervention. 

The project was designed based on the COCD’s strategic plan 2019-2023 that strongly highlighted the need for organizational development focus on staff and leadership development and improvement of monitoring & evaluation.
The overall goal of the project is to build the sustainability and capability of COCD to meet future challenges.
COCD staff presented their need for capacity building through the annual staff reflection workshop in December 2022. The specific training/skills that staff requested COCD management committee and funding support from CAFOD: 1. Strategic problem solving, 2. Mentoring and motivation skills, 3. Business plan development, 4. Household financial management, 5. Data system management, and 6. Do no harm and strategic development.
Improving access to improved water source and safe drinking water in Veal Veng district, Pursat The project is complemented to one of CAFOD partner (COCD) target communities in Veal Veng district, Pursat province. The overall goal of the project is to develop more capacity and resources of most marginalised families to engage in community dialogues in order to promote development in their communities. Through COCD project implementation, it has revealed that target community people are facing immediate needs on accessing safe water for their daily consumption and the limitation knowledge of local authorities and community people on safe drinking water; while, COCD’s project has focused on livelihood development specifically. In late September to October 2020, these communities were faced flash flooding that caused water system from waterfall, which is a main water source for people in Tumpor community, was damaged and it caused people lack of safe drinking water and poor hygiene practices. 
COCD and RWC have discussed with key informants in communities on current situations, challenges and discuss for solutions for improvement of community health through drinking safe water and proper hygiene practices in which an entry point would be focused on improving water supply system in community and building community committee and people on safe drinking water management. On the other hand, to deeply understand community challenges and to response to people needs, partner has conducted a feasibility study by involving from all community groups of people to ensure that the project has responded to community needs and reached to marginalized groups. 
Two specific objectives are proposed:
-	To improve the access to clean water of poorest households through promoting active participation in water management process in order to meet their needs for better livelihoods. 
-	To improve the capacity of water management committees on water management and to enable them to be able to support the poorest community people addressing their needs on water.
Some approaches have been proposed based on community resources including: 1).  upgrading households water facilities and households water treatment and safety storage, 2). upgrading local public water assets including waterfall and pond, 3) capacity improvement for water management committee, and 4) community people awareness to improve situation of accessing to drinking safe water and proper hygiene practice including the precaution of Covid-19 pandemic. 
To contribute to CAFOD strategy– OCH, project will demonstrate its clean technology in upgrading water assets and promotion of collection rainwater throughout community to ensure the safety, access, dignity and inclusion by targeting for poor and disadvantage peoples in the community to be supported through project. Also, the implemented project is a CAFOD’s new working approach of linking resources among our partners to support and contribute each other in order to respond immediately needs of community people.
