Based on the Organic Law on Administrative Management of the Capital, Provinces, Districts, Municipalities and Khans, adopted in May 2008, the ten-year National Program for Sub-National Democratic Development (NP-SNDD) and its first three-year Implementation Plan (IP3) – 2011-2013 – have been approved by the Royal Government. The purpose of the NP-SNDD and the IP3 are two-fold: to develop accountable, sub-national democratic institutions with effective administrations and to promote improved sub-national development for the benefit of the Cambodian population.
The National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development (NCDD) is mandated as the overall program authority and through its Secretariat (NCDDS) is responsible for policy formulation and program coordination. Implementation of the National Program is assigned to six national institutions, each with their own sub-program, including the NCDDS; the Ministries of Interior, Economy and Finance, and Planning; the State Secretariat for Civil Service; and the National League of Council Associations.
Underlying the design of the IP3 is a national effort to develop capacity at all levels of government for democratic development including policy formulation, institutional strengthening and human resource development. Specific emphasis in the first three years is focused on the level of the district/municipality including their newly established office to support the Commune/Sangkat Councils.
To support the capacity development and transfer of skills to the various national institutions and sub-national administrations during the initial phase of program implementation, the NCDD Secretariat is seeking qualified Cambodian Nationals for the following positions
- Provincial Program Management Advisor
- Provincial Finance Advisor
- National Policy Advisor
