Abstract:

As part of the external evaluation of the Civil Society Education Fund (CSEF) (2013-15) requested by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE), the Institute for Development Impact (I4DI) conducted seven country case studies. The evaluation aimed to contribute to GCE’s ability to respond to challenges and objectives by identifying the emerging impact of the CSEF programme, provide evidence of the effectiveness of its design and implementation model, and derive learning from implemented processes and structures to influence and strengthen future programming. The Cambodia case study was conducted by field visit with the NGO Education Partnership (NEP) from August 3-8, 2015. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted over a five day period with 25 persons from development partners, coalition member organizations, coalition Board members, coalition staff, and the Minister for Education Youth and Sport (MoEYS).

Description:

The Civil Society Education Fund (CSEF) is a global initiative to secure more international support to sustain civil society advocacy for education. Coordinated by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) and through regional agencies, CSEF supports civil society coalitions to engage citizens in education sector policy, planning, budgeting and monitoring in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The work of the coalition in Cambodia is a positive example of how CSEF funding helped to strengthen the role of the coalition as a credible partner, address the capacity needs of members, and attract additional funding. The CSEF programme has been instrumental in assisting NEP to further support mechanisms that assisted the coalition in achieving its objectives.
