The armed conflict along the Cambodia–Thailand border has forced thousands of people to flee from their homes and seek temporary shelter in safer areas. Preah Vihear province, located along the border, is one of DPA’s target areas.

DPA is working closely with district and commune disaster‐management committees to gather information on the most vulnerable groups and support their essential needs. There are 1,346 most vulnerable refugee households, including 1,008 female‐headed households and 64 people with disabilities. Among the displaced population are 1,969 women, 968 children, and 347 older people. They are situated in four refugee camps across four target villages (Thnal Bek, Trav Keat, Bos, and Chhaeb Lech), three communes (Thmei, Phnom Penh, and Chhaeb 1), and two districts (Kulen and Chhaeb).

Funds from this fundraising campaign will be used to provide essential items during this challenging time, including: Shelters, Hygiene and Sanitation supplies, and Food (Milk for infants).

Essentials for Survival to Vulnerable Refugees in Cambodia

DPA has a strong track record of achievements in the areas of natural resource management, climate change resilience, and food security for grassroots organizations, social enterprises, and other livelihood initiatives.

Development and Partnership in Action (DPA) is a Cambodian non-government organisation (NGO) which localised from an international NGO called CIDSE. The organisation has been active in Cambodia for over 30 years, tackling issues as diverse as building capacity to community leaders, gender equality, natural resource management, health and education, and food security and as well as adapting to address emerging issues such as climate change and extractive industries as these topics became relevant to the Cambodian context. **DPA** has applied a new strategic plan for 2013-2016 with a vision for all Cambodians to enjoy a high quality of life as full citizens, accessing, using and protecting their rights. **DPA** continues to apply the key approaches as Community Organising (CO) and Rights Based Approach (RBA) for empowering and supporting poor and vulnerable people, building community resilience, building engagement and cooperation with relevant stakeholders and advocating for an enabling environment for sustainable development. Through these approaches, poor and vulnerable Cambodians in target areas will increase the access to rights and resources, improve livelihood, increase ownership, improve the capacity for participation, leadership of women, youth and Indigenous People (IP) and increase community resilience. In addition, the strategic plan makes further progress in the areas of improving, strengthening and empowering people, particularly women and those living in indigenous communities, encouraging them to participate in decision-making for development activities since they are the keys for the success of sustainable development. This strategic plan is focusing on the areas of natural resource management, climate change resilience and food security, support for grassroots organisations and social enterprises and other initiatives related to livelihood. 

**DPA** has three main programme areas: Integrated Community Development Programme (ICDP); Partnership Programme (PP) and Development Education and Advocacy Programme (DEAP). The ICD programme aims to improve the quality of life of the rural poor through improving food security, health, education and natural resource management for and supporting collaboration between commune councils and people’s associations. The Partnership programme supports Community NGOs, Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) and Agricultural Co-operatives, providing capacity building for their organisational management and funding support for their activities. The DEA programme team aim to strengthen development education on gender, as well as strengthening advocacy on issues related to land, logging, extractive industry (EI) social environmental impacts and resource revenue management.
