Meeting Structure
The consultation meetings with each stakeholder group will be structured as combined plenary presentations followed by discussions, plus small focus group break-out discussions where practical. These meetings will be scheduled to run for 1.5-2 hours each.
For the consultation with NGOs and civil society, youth groups, thinks tanks and research agencies, wider networks will be asked to identify participants from the provinces and Phnom Penh-based NGO/CSO. The networks currently listed are the Cooperation Committee of Cambodia, the NGO Forum, the Khmer Youth Association, and Star Kampuchea.
For the subnational government session, three participants will be invited from each province to cover the legislative and executive branches plus women’s representation: an official for women’s affairs in the social sector (education, health, nutrition, etc.); a governor (executive); and a provincial council chair (legislative).
Consultations with government, CSOs/NGOs/think-tanks and the private sector will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Khmer. The sessions with sub-national government officials will be conducted in Khmer with simultaneous interpretation in English. Consultations with development partners will be in English only.
