The NGO Forum on Cambodia coordinates the Rivers Coalition in Cambodia (RCC) which is a national network organization working on the water governance of the Mekong River and NRM in Cambodia. The network has the mission to support the RGC’s policy process to ensure sustainable and inclusive governance of the water ecosystem, specifically focusing on the transboundary environmental impact of the hydropower infrastructure project on the Mekong mainstream and its tributaries. The network currently consists of 43-member organizations from across the country, working together to achieve a common goal. The NGO Forum has been functioning as a secretariat by ensuring regular network meetings, providing capacity building for the member organizations, conducting evidence-based research and documentation, and ensuring effective media and communication.
The NGOF/RCC plans to design a research tool/manual that could be used by local CSOs and communities to monitor the environmental impacts of the hydropower projects. It is expected to have two separate tools/manuals that would be designed to document and monitor 1) fish catch and 2) daily water level fluctuation. Once the tool is developed, it will be introduced to local organizations and communities to regularly collect information on the environmental impact of the hydropower projects on the ground.
