Cambodian Civil Society Organizations

Cambodian Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are independent groups that work within Cambodia to promote social, economic, and political development. They include nonprofits, advocacy groups, and community-based organizations that address issues like human rights, education, health, and environmental protection. CSOs often serve as a bridge between the government and citizens, advocating for citizens’ needs, increasing public awareness, and holding authorities accountable. They play a vital role in strengthening democracy, supporting vulnerable populations, and fostering civic participation, helping ensure diverse voices are heard and communities are empowered.
