Request for Expression of Interest

IT and Communication Assistant

Background:

The National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development (NCDD) is mandated as the overall program authority and through its Secretariat (NCDDS) is responsible for policy formulation and program coordination to undertake Organic Law and D&D reform through National Program for Sub-National Democratic Development (NP-SNDD). In 2020, the first phase of the NP-SNDD was ended, and currently the second phase of the NP-SNDD (2021-2030) has been implementing. The Objective of the NP-SNDD phase II (NP2) is that by 2030 structures and systems of sub-national governance are modern, autonomous, effective, transparent, and accountable in their provision of public services and local development. They will respond to the prioritized needs of the people in their jurisdiction in an equitable and inclusive manner. Each type of SNA will have adequate power and capacity to carry out their functions under the oversight of their councils to strengthen accountability to citizens.

Social accountability is set as a priority activity in component 2 of NP-2 which has been carried through Social Accountability Strategic Plan and its Implementation for Social Accountability Framework (SA). SA is now in the second phase, which cover the period 2019-2025. SA has been implementing through the cooperation between the supply side-led by government entities at national and sub-national level, the demand side-by civil society organizations, and development partners in order to enhance the constructive engagement between citizens and government as an integral element of governance arrangements – through which public decision-making and action takes place. During SA-II, GIZ through Improving Service Delivery (ISD) Program created a project “Improving Social Accountability at District, Municipality and Khan (DMK) Level” which NCDDS is an implementing agency to coordinate and support SA supply side. After focusing on Communes and Sangkats and experiences for years, as well as piloting at DMK level, the rollout implementation at DMK level should be started with aim at providing a process and approach rolling out the Social Accountability Implementation at DMK level to develop relevant guidelines to support Social Accountability operations or called operational guidelines and tools for Social Accountability at DMK level while the government is currently expanding Social Accountability to include all SNAs (CS and DMK) across the country, in particularly to permanently anchor this approach in the governance system, ensuring Social Accountability implementation sustain by end of NP2 at 2030.
