GADC’s vision: Cambodia upholds the principle of justice and the rule of law in which women and men are equally empowered to participate in development and to access, use and protect their rights.
GADC’s mission: GADC works to promote gender equality as fundamental human rights, which are necessary for Cambodia’s social, economic and political development.
GADC works in cooperation with the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and members of civil society organizations to advocate for gender sensitive projects/programs, national laws and policies formulation in Cambodia. The advocacy for gender sensitivities in laws and policies is related to GADC’s emphasis on the need to shift from a focus on women’s roles in development towards a consideration of gendered relations of power, including access to and control over resources, and decision-making by women and men. GADC serves as an intermediary in which information flows between the national and sub-national levels (including the grassroots). This intermediary role allows for local needs being responded by the government and national level policies are informed. GADC is looking for an application by qualified Cambodian candidates for the requiring position is based in Phnom Penh and extensive travel within Cambodia.
