Long-term international expertise for decentralisation in Cambodia & Short-Term Expert Pool

Since introducing a first local government act for the level of communes and sangkats (C/S) in 2001, Cambodia has been developing its decentralisation reforms in a sequential manner. The transfer of wide-ranging sector tasks to the district and municipality level in December 2019 was the latest significant step in this reform process. The module aims to develop local strategies for selected services (administrative services/One-Window Service Offices, water and waste management) and to capitalise on existing mechanisms for the participation and engagement of citizens and the private sector for the newly transferred functions. The module objective is: districts and municipalities in selected partner provinces use strategies and improved processes for service delivery in priority sectors. The present tender refers to the implementation of Output 2 (one-window service offices) and Output 3 (local water management strategies). It will be implemented in Phnom Penh and 3 provinces (Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap).
