About Us
Our Profile
ActionAid Cambodia (AAC) is both a catalyst and a contributor to social change processes. We work with the poorest and most excluded men, women and children in Cambodia, making long-term commitments to advance their human rights and transform the world in which their children grow up. Our approach to securing change puts human rights front and center, prioritizing empowerment, solidarity and campaigning.
AAC incorporates the Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) and the ActionAid Ten Feminist Leadership Principles into all aspects of its programme delivery and organizational development, to shift and transform power through empowering and mobilizing communities to engage in advocacy and campaigning, building solidarity and working together to create innovative, evidence-based solutions to ensure that everyone, especially women and youth can enjoy a life of dignity and identity with freedom from poverty, inequality and injustice.
Vision
A just, equitable and sustainable world in which every person enjoys the rights to a life of dignity, prosperity, and freedom.
Mission
To achieve social justice, gender equality and equity, and resilient livelihoods by working with people living in poverty and exclusion, their communities, people’s organizations, activists, social movements, supporters and duty bearers.
