About Chab Dai:
Organisational Collaboration
Chab Dai’s project work in Cambodia consists of four main thematic areas. These are: Movement Building, Systems Strengthening, Community Empowerment, and Survivor Restoration. Chab Dai encourages communication and integration across all project areas. The ideal candidate for this Director position will be prepared to
connect with members of all thematic areas and support functions such as People & Culture, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Donor Management Teams.
The International board is registered in the U.S. and employs only a bookkeeper to ensure our financial records are in line with our 501c3 obligations and to ensure our U.S. donations are distributed to Chab Dai UK and Chab Dai Cambodia according to organisation policy.
Theory of Change:
We believe that true social change will only occur through the innovation of collaboration. By combining the efforts made by various sectors committed to a common agenda, we further our collective impact. We believe that no single organization or sector can bring an end to human trafficking. Instead, we must collaborate through means such as knowledge and resource sharing, referring cases between organization partners, and advocating together for positive policy changes on national and international governmental levels.
Human trafficking is complex, fueled by issues like social inequality, culture and history, gender inequality, poverty, and economic disempowerment. Therefore, the response to this must include organizations and stakeholders from different sectors, creating an interdisciplinary approach that is grounded in a human rights framework. This means stakeholders recognize that we all have a shared responsibility to combat trafficking and in response, share our strengths, core competencies, and financial and knowledge-based resources to abolish all forms of abuse and exploitation.
