Human Rights In Cambodia: USAID Cambodia invites qualified organisations with experience to submit applications for a cooperative agreement to implement a program to support Human Rights activities in Cambodia. For profit organizations may also submit applications however they will not be entitled to receive a fee or profit for this activity. The goal is to support the enforcement of human rights norms through focused monitoring and legal defense of human rights. As Cambodian human rights NGOs evolve and become more effective, they are traditionally gaining more important roles, adding to their initial work of fact-finding and standard setting to serving as ombudsmen intervening on behalf of the oppressed. In particular, the program will support NGOs who take on precedent setting human rights cases that have the potential to influence government policy and public opinion. USAID s human rights program will strengthen the skills of organizations in monitoring, investigation and follow-up of human rights cases. It will also include activities such as legal capacity training in human rights cases, including but not limited to land encroachment, trafficking in persons, and corruption cases.
