Context

FIRST aims to contribute to a stronger social contract between the Royal Government of Cambodia’s social protection institutions and the Cambodian citizens, by ensuring a more inclusive, rights-based and shock-responsive social protection system. By promoting the active participation and consultation of Cambodian civil society organisations (CSOs), the project will contribute to building trust and cooperation between rights holders and duty bearers.
