EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To reform the way development aid is managed and delivered and to make it more effective in
delivering development results, the world governments and donor community committed to work
together towards five partnership principles: ownership; alignment; harmonization; managing for
results; and mutual accountability. These principles were agreed upon in the Paris Declaration on Aid
Effectiveness and endorsed by governments of developing countries and international donor
community in Paris in 2005. To make the principles and commitment of Paris Declaration become real,
the development partners and government had pledged in the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) in 2008
to deepen engagement of CSO in development process.
In 2009 and 2010, the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) had received financial supports
from MDSP/UNDP and 2015 Alliance Partners to support Aid Effectiveness Project. Through this
support CCC has implemented five regional training workshops and several multi-stakeholders
workshops/dialogues aimed to build the capacity of NGOs across Cambodia on Paris Declaration
Principles and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) on Aid Effectiveness.
Currently, with financial support from Reality of Aid (ROA), 2015 Alliance, and others, CCC
continues to implement the project named Moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development
Effectiveness. The ultimate goal of this project is to contribute to the success of aid effectiveness and
development effectiveness agenda in Cambodia.
One of a series of meetings/workshops/consultations is to conduct 2 NGO Network/Coalition

Meetings. The first meeting was hosted on 23 September 2010 at Mittapheap Hotel, Phnom Penh with
25 NGO representatives from NGO sectoral/network and NGO provincial networks. The meeting was
to discuss about the project of Moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness and their
involvement, to build deepen understanding of the participants on Aid Effectiveness and Development
Effectiveness in Cambodia, and to discuss pm case studies development and AAA monitoring.
As result from this meeting, based on the feedback and observation, the participants have learned about
the project plan and expected results, and deepen understanding concepts and trends of moving from
aid effectiveness to development effectiveness. The meeting has formed a working group, NGO
representatives, to oversight the coming case studies development. The working group will play
important roles in ensuring the quality of case studies and inputs to the project implementation. Key
issues/sectors to be documented as case studies were identified and matrix for AAA monitoring was
also discussed for further improvement.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness Project is currently co-financed by
the Reality of Aid and 2015 Alliance and other partners. This project is for 16 months from September
2010 to December 2011. The project will implement several critical activities including a series of
meetings/ consultations, case studies development, production of background papers of Paris
Declaration and AAA, and monitoring report of AAA.
CCC, in partnership with NGO Sectoral and Provincial networks had conduct a first full day NGO
Coalition/Network Meeting on Moving Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness on 23
September 2010 at Mittapheap Hotel, Phnom Penh. There were 25 NGOs representative from sectoral
and provincial networks.
The overall objective of this meeting as bellow:

To inform about the plan of moving from Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness Project
and their involvement.

Effectiveness in Cambodia.
Discuss issues to be documented as case studies and formulate Working Group (s) to work on each

2. RESULTS OF THE MEETING

The meeting was proceed by opening remarks, following with presentations and questions and answers
on Aid Effectiveness project, current status of implementation of PD and AAA principles and
commitment. Then the meeting continued with small group discussions on issues/areas to be
documented as case studies, and also look at the monitoring matrix of monitoring AAA commitment.
2.1. Welcome Remarks:

Mr Lun Borithy, Executive Director of CCC, provided his welcoming remarks to all the present
participants. He explained how the development effectiveness agenda differs from traditional debates
regarding aid effectiveness. He reminded the events we have so far and today meeting are great the
great opportunity for us to generate inputs and build collective voice as one of the development actors
in order to influence our development partners and government and contribute to global processes for
improving the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized populations in Cambodia and around the globe.
He invited all the participants to remain positive and promote constructive reflections, debates and to
provide their inputs to the forum. Our movement has been gradually recognized by relevant
stakeholders including government and development partners, for example, NGO representatives are
members of 15 out of 19 Technical Working Groups (TWGs). Our recent dialogue on moving from
Aid Effectiveness towards Development Effectiveness had given us concrete results which will be
presented to Global CSO Development Effectiveness Forum in Istanbul, Turkey by the end of 2010.
We will continue to work to gather to document best practices/modalities to be presented to 4th high
Page 4
level forum in South Korea and beyond to ensure that democratic development is deeply and
effectively interpreted into action.
2.2. Presentations:
There were two presenters in this session. The first presentation was to inform the participants about
overview of Paris Declaration and AAA principles and commitment, NGOs engagement in promoting
these efforts and areas for improvement in NGO sector towards these commitments. The second one
was updating on how NGO community has done in promoting and applying the principles and
commitment thus far at sub-national, national, regional and global levels, and well as presenting the
outlook of the project for 2010 and 2011.
Mr. Leang Reathman, Aid Effectiveness Officer of NGO Forum on Cambodia presented about Paris
Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) principles and commitment. He started with a
summary of revolution of Aid Effectiveness such as since 1st high level forum-harmonization in Room
2001 lead by working party on aid effectiveness and then moved to 2nd high level forum-Paris
Declaration in 2005 and the 3rd high level forum-Accra Agenda for Action was conducted in 2008. He
also highlighted about the revolution of aid management in Cambodia as bellow:
His presentation also highlighted that NGOs have played active and important roles in engaging with
government and development partners (e.g members of 15 TWGs, produce position papers, researches,
dialogue, etc) to inform the policy makers about development impacts at grassroots level and shape the
policy discussion.
He highlighted that based on the NGO Forum’s recent study there is a need to strengthen the roles and
capacity of NGOs in representing its sector to the TWGs, Government – Donors Coordination
Committee (GDCC), and Cambodia Development Cooperation Forum (CDCF). There is also a need to
build enabling environment for NGO community to exercise their rights as development actors. We
need to revise guideline of TWG which will enable NGOs to perform their role more professionally
and effectively.
Some questions were raised by the participants to clarify their understanding on the current status of
application of the principles and commitments of PD and AAA.
Mr. Soeung Saroeun, Senior Operations and Finance Manager of CCC presented a brief update of
what NGO community driven by CCC, NGO Forum, MEDICAM, and other NGO coalition, has been
done thus far. He recalled that NGOs have done better jobs in terms of promoting the application of
Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) principles and commitments within its sector.
The NGO community in Cambodia had genuinely advocated to development partners and government
of Cambodia to continuously promote and ensure enabling environment in order to make all principles
and commitments become real at both sub-national and national levels. In addition, we have
Page 5
implemented number of significant activities for promoting NGO development effectiveness – making
our sector in more professional, better governance and greater capacity to respond effectively to
development challenges in Cambodia. Our efforts thus far and today will be incorporated into our
country paper on moving from Aid Effectiveness towards Development Effectiveness and present to
the national, regional and international aid effectiveness workshops/forums.
He added that we have to prepare ourselves to professionally document and present our country
findings/achievements/contexts on Aid Effectiveness to Development Effectiveness which will be
shared to development partners and governments and CSOs in the regional and globe.
To do these, we need to continue to implement our existing project named “Moving from Aid
Effectiveness towards Development Effectiveness”. This project is implementing from September 2010
– December 2011. The key focuses of this project are as follow:
a. Background Paper (findings) on Aid Effectiveness and Development Effectiveness developed
and used as reference.
b. 2 meetings with umbrella NGOs and sectoral groups conducted to deepen understand the
principles of PD and AAA. A working group will be formed document best practice case

of Cambodian commitment on PD and AAA and endorse the case studies.
d. Five to six case studies on modalities of engagement between local and international NGOs and
multi-stakeholders engagement on Aid and Development Effectiveness in Cambodia.
e. Two multi-stakeholders meetings/dialogues on aid effectiveness and development effectiveness
conducted for 80-120 participants in total of sub-national governments, NGOs and development
partners in Siem Reap and Kratie provinces.
f. One high level national multi-stakeholders dialogue conducted in Phnom Penh for 40-60
participants from sub national and national levels to further enrich strategic partnership and
finalize case studies/modalities for global high level forum.
g. Monitoring report of AAA implementation at country level is produced and consolidated in the
international paper.

i. Background paper and aid and development effectiveness case studies documented and shared
on related websites and at 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness.
j. The Cambodia papers are noted in the international paper or forum proceedings as one of the
useful materials for influencing changes and thinking of development actors in moving from aid
to development effectiveness.
The results from this project will be shared to:

- Global CSO Development Effectiveness Workshop, Istanbul, Turkey in September 2010.
- Bussan South Korea (has been changed from SEOUL) 4th High Level Forum on Aid
Effectiveness

Several questions were asked by the participants to make sure that the project includes all stakeholders
in the project implementation process. And make sure that the involved participants feel ownership on
the process and results.
2.3. Group Discussions:

The participants were divided in to three groups to discuss about the current status (results and
challenges) of Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) implementation in Cambodia.
The group representatives presented group discussion to a larger group. The consolidated results from
the presentation were as follow:
In general, the implementation of AAA in Cambodia was smoothly, for example, there were some
engagements of NGOs in TWGs, GDCC, CDCF, etc. NGOs were able to provide inputs to the national
strategic development plan, and others. However, some significant issues need to be addressed
professionally and timely as follow:
• The knowledge of AAA still limited amount government, civil society and development partners
• The attitude in implementation of AAA still in selective manner/approach
• The consistence of three actors (government, CSOs and development partners) in implement of
AAA is still limited
• Lack of equal participation from CSOs in national dialogue and country development process
• Lack of opportunity to access to capacity building for TWGs and update information
• Gaps of communication and lack of trust between CSOs and government
• Financial constrain for CSOs
• The collective voice amongst CSOs needs to be improved and coordinated
• CSOs have only opportunity to present in the events but lack of meaningful participation
• Lack of ownership and encouragement in policy discussion
• Lack of coordination amount stakeholders
• Some restrictions made by provincial authorities to barrier CSOs to implement their activities
effectively
2.4. Tools for monitoring AAA:

A presentation on tool for monitoring AAA was presented to the participants for their learning and
comments. He summarized that this tool is adapted from the Reality of Aid. The presentation included
the assessment the participation of CSOs in promoting AAA, the engagement of CSOs with donors and
governments in realization of the AAA commitments. This monitoring tool contributes a framework
and guideline for CSOs in monitoring the broad implementation of AAA and tool can be modified/
revised according to the country context. The matrix is divided into three parts corresponding to the
donor and developing country commitments stated in AAA:
1. Strengthening Country Ownership over Development
2. Building More Effective and Inclusive Partnerships for Development
3. Delivering and Accounting for Development Results.
After the presentation, the participants were devised into 3 groups to discuss on the draft tool for
monitoring AAA. As a result the participants have suggested as follow:
Page 7
• The draft monitoring tool is good since it looks at overall picture of AAA and it enables us to
engage all related stakeholders in the monitoring process.
• Most of the three need to revisit in order to gather necessary information within each defined
column.
• Revisit it to make sure that terminologies used in the tools reflect completely the Cambodian
context.
• Make sure that the monitoring process includes the all stakeholders to reflect their roles in applying
the principles and commitments of PD and AAA.
• There should have a Working Group to work on this and test it with some selected stakeholders to
test how it works.
2.5. Formulation of Working Group:

The draft term of reference for Working Group on Case Studies Development was presented. Some
suggestions were raised and at the end the ToR was approved. There was a request to have volunteers
from this meeting to participate in the WG member. There were six persons from six organizations are
volunteer to be a member of WG. They are included:
1- Mr. Leang Sophany, Program Manager of HCC
2- Mr. Cheang Phea, Senior Assistant of River Kid
3- Mr. Soun Sareth, General Secretariat of CHRAC
4- Mr. Keat Bunthan, Executive Director of Live and Learn
5- Mr. Kim Miratory, Program Manager of Concern (to be confirmed)
6- Mrs. Ung Yok Khorn, Executive Director of AMARA
CCC will seek further volunteers from NGO community to participate in the WG in order to make sure
the WG is representing all sectors NGO work with and able to provide comprehensive inputs to the
case studies development.
The participants suggested that the case studies should focus:

• Application of PD and AAA at sub-national level in general
• Look at some good case studies which reflect enabled working environment
• Some case studies should reflect some sectors where hinder NGO community in participating in
development process.
• Case study should be reflected the reality at both grassroots and national levels.
3. CONCLUSION
Based on the evaluation sheet completed by the participants indicated that the meeting has went
smoothly and produced concrete outputs such as the participants have better understood about PD and
AAA principles and commitments. The meeting was able to form a working group where can add a lot
of values to the project and case studies development. The draft tool for monitoring AAA
implementation was also reflected for improvement.
In addition, the participants and organizers felt that results of this meeting can be reflected and brought
to the forum in Istanbul, Turkey.

– Meeting should allow a more “open” discussion
– NGOs would like a clear recognition of their role (not
provided in the current TORs of the TWGs)

advance
– NGOs in TWGs need to network well with other sectoral
NGOs or their members or group
6) CSO comments on the Revised guideline on

Role and Function of TWG

assistance associated with the TWG, as
recommended by well established and accountable
membership NGOs

continue to build trust
Page 15
(Cont.) Supporting enabling environment:
• Pre-GDCC discussion should engage NGOs
• CSOs/NGO representative should engage in
capacity training

documentation shared in advance; and more
focus on problem identification and solving in
the sector or thematic area of the TWG.

Many INGOs still come to Cambodia and do not
build the capacity of local NGOs.
NGOs have to build our collective voices and
influence the thinking of the INGOs and DP

AAA Monitoring Tools
08/02/2010 Page1
The monitoring matrix assesses donors and

government commitments to the AAA, from the
perspective of the CSOs.
It also assesses the participation of CSOs in

engaging with donors and governments for the
realization of the AAA commitments.
This monitoring tool contributes a framework

and guideline for CSOs in monitoring the broad
implementation of AAA in their country.
08/02/2010 Page2
Page 31
The tool can be modified/revised according to
the country context.
The matrix is divided into three parts

corresponding to the donor and developing
country commitments stated in AAA.
08/02/2010 Page3
1. Commitment 1- Strengthening Country

Ownership over Development
2. Commitment 2 - Building More Effective and

Inclusive Partnerships for Development
3. Commitment 3 - Delivering and Accounting

for Development Results
08/02/2010 Page4

This AAA monitoring tool will look at 5 aspects:
Aspect 1 – Setting up of mechanisms and
processes. This aspect notes and illustrates the
mechanisms/structures /processes that have
been initiated by donors and/or developing
countries towards realizing the stated AAA
commitment and contribute to the achievement
of development goals.
Aspect 2 – Dissemination of information to all
stakeholders. This aspect describes the
situation where donors and government have
provided information to other aid actors – civil
society, parliament, local authorities, media.
08/02/2010 Page5
Aspect 3 – Participation of all stakeholders in

the process. This aspect illustrates how donors
and governments have
a) encouraged and involved the participation of
all development actors, including CSOs, and
b) integrated the contributions and critique of
these development actors in policies,
programs and other decisions.
08/02/2010 Page6
Page 33
Aspect 4 – Fulfillment of commitments as stated
in the AAA. This aspect describes the status of
implementation or fulfillment of the
commitments agreed upon in the AAA.
Aspect 5 – Desired impacts of the realization of

AAA commitments. This aspect seeks to reflect
the results, outcomes and impacts as defined by
country CSOs. This can also be related to the
achievement of internationally agreed
development goals.
08/02/2010 Page7
CSOs discuss and collectively decide on the

status of the different aspects of AAA
implementation. They may also opt to define the
reason and factors for their statements in each
aspect. This will help strengthen their analysis
on the current level of the broad
implementation of AAA in their country.
CSOs can re-assess the progress on the

implementation of AAA in their country after a
certain period of time.
08/02/2010 Page8
Page 34
The result of this matrix can serve as guide for
the formulation and/or updating of the CSO-led
Country Plan on Aid Effectiveness.
Lastly, the AAA Monitoring Matrix is just one of

the many tools available for AAA monitoring.
CSOs can adapt/revise/modify the tool according
to the local context.
