| Profile |
STAR Kampuchea is a Cambodian non-profit and
non-partisan organization. It was established in August
1997 and is dedicated to building democracy by
strengthening civil society. Since it was founded, STAR
Kampuchea has become a well-known and respected
organization with a solid reputation among civil society
organizations, government bodies and donors. Thousands
of people and hundreds of NGOs have benefited from its
activities.
As an advocacy network and service organization, STAR
Kampuchea has established close cooperation with 39
officially affiliated NGOs in six provinces and
coordinates four Provincial Networks of NGOs, which are
working on advocacy issues at a grassroots level. It
coordinates the Advocacy Team (AT), a group of
representatives from 27 Cooperating Organizations. STAR
Kampuchea also addresses the labor movement as a strong
civil society organization.
STAR Kampuchea’s keyword is advocacy, the “organized
efforts and actions that use the instruments of
democracy to establish and implement laws and policies
that will create a just and equitable society”
(Definition of the Advocacy Institute, Washington,
D.C.). Advocacy activities should strengthen democracy,
the respect for human rights and civil society on the
basis of the rule of law.
To achieve its objectives, STAR Kampuchea currently runs
three programs: the Advocacy Action Program (AAP), the
Advocacy Capacity Action Program (ACP) and a new program
to establish the STAR Kampuchea Foundation (SKF).
