PAZ Y DESARROLLO (PYD) is a SPANISH International NGO. In Cambodia, PYD is implementing three 4-year programs named: 1) To improve Opportunities and To Encourage Cambodian women’s role in Social, Political and Economic Areas, 2) Promotion of Political Participation with Gender Equality in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Timor Leste, and Vietnam and 3) Economic and Social Empowerment with Gender Perspective in Cambodia, Timor Leste and Vietnam.
In the framework of the first program, the Social Economic Development Component is implementing Income Generation Projects in four provinces of the North East area of Cambodia. The project, developed with the participation of PYD technical staff, local partners, local authorities and external experts, involves capacity building for saving groups, micro credit management, entrepreneurship, technical assistance for different business activities and the access to revolving funds, with ongoing monitoring process.
In current phase of the intervention, therefore, a strategy aimed to ensure the sustainability of the income generation project has been designed. One of the main steps of the strategy is the official constitution and legalization of the current revolving fund management commission (so called Community Working Team) as a community based organization, in order to strengthen the ownership and management of the project among the beneficiary population.
Therefore, in order to officially constitute and legalize the community based organizations responsible for revolving funds in the areas of intervention, a national consultant (individual or team) is required. In coordination with the head of social and economic development department and under the supervision of the country coordinator/representative of PyD Cambodia, the consultant will support the implementation of the activities related to the official constitution and legalization of the community based organization responsible for revolving funds at commune level in the areas of intervention (Kratie, Stung Treng, Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri), as well as in the validation of the monitoring tools.
