Enhancing Climate Change Collaboration: Government, Civil Society, and Private Sector in Cambodia
This document discusses the comparative advantages of government institutions, civil society organizations (CSOs), and the private sector in addressing climate change (CC) in Cambodia, particularly within a multi-stakeholder platform. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of each actor, emphasizing integrated planning, decision-making, and allocation of resources. Strategies for enhancing coordination and sustainability of the platform, including the formation of a National Coordination Committee and training initiatives, are proposed. The focus is on promoting cooperation, capacity building, and gender considerations within climate perspectives.

Questions:1. What are the comparative advantages of Government institutions and Civil Society/ Private Sector for CC in Cambodia? (if there is multi-stakeholder platform)
2. What should be the scopes, approaches and functions of the multi-stakeholder platform? • Divide clear roles and responsibilities of each actor (gov’t, CSOs and private sector) by sector/institution • Develop and monitor strategic and activity plan jointly • Integration/cooperation of all actors (gov’t, CSOs and private sector), joint workplan and calendar • Participating composition of gov’t, CSOs and private sector at national and sub-national levels, development partners • Composition ratio: use existing structure and equal participation of each actor (gov’t, CSOs, private sector and development partners) • Join decision making process on budget/resource allocation & activity implementation
3. How to enhance coordination and sustainability mechanisms of the platform? • Establish a National Coordination Committee with a secretariat located in the Ministry of Environment • Rotating chair of the National Coordination Committee • Frequency/mandate of the chair: 1-2 years • Composition: 3-5 representatives from each actor (gov’t, CSOs and private sector) • Development partners should be the observer • Establish sub-national platform (gov’t, CSOs and private sector) • Develop by-laws • Internal ToR and regulations • Develop membership criteria of the National Coordination Committee • Short, medium and long term strategy and workplan
4. Capacity needs for the Private Sectors, CSOs and gender consideration in the climate perspectives (existing legal and other supports mechanism) • Disseminate and enhance laws and policy related to climate change • Technical assistance (documentary, in-class training, on-the-job training, exposure visits…) • Media for improved awareness raising (policy, innovations, good practices, related legal framework) • Research Working Group (gov’t, CSOs and private sector) under facilitation of the National Coordination Team • Identify areas of cooperation between gov’t, CSOs and private sector plus DPs
