Social accountability page was presented at civic tech meetup

On 25 November, the Open Development Cambodia (ODC) team conducted a presentation at the seventh Civic Tech Meetup in Kampong Chhnang city, Kampong Chhnang province. The series of meetups were challenged by Covid-19, but have recently resumed limited in-person meetings. During this all-day hybrid virtual and in-person event conducted by DAI, the Innovations for Social Accountability in Cambodia (ISAC) project was shared with civil society organizations (CSOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), community accountability facilitators (CAFs), youths, and civic tech enablers. Altogether 36 (21 females) participants actively participated in the event. The Digital Innovation and Information Fund was also introduced, and explored areas for collaboration.

ODC’s Programs and Partnership Manager Ms. Ourn Vimoil joined the session remotely to share about the development of the new Social Accountability page. Ms. Vimoil presented the objectives of the page, its development process, and available updated information on the page, which presents in four main formats such as infographics, articles, data tables, and maps.

ODC looks forward to sharing more Social Accountability information and strengthening awareness and use of its new portal format. In addition to strengthening stakeholder awareness and use of the Social Accountability page, participation in the Civic Tech meetup also will enable a stronger recruitment process for future Data Literacy training.
