Why is CCFC Working with Community Capacity-Building?

The Coalition of Cambodian Farmers Community (CCFC) believes that strong, knowledgeable, and organized communities are essential for achieving social justice, land rights, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment. Through community capacity-building, CCFC ensures that rural peasants, women, youth, and indigenous groups have the tools and skills to protect their rights, sustain their livelihoods, and influence policies that affect their lives.

Key Reasons for CCFC’s Community Capacity-Building Work

✅ Empowering Rural Communities to Defend Their Rights: Many rural communities face land grabbing, illegal deforestation, and resource exploitation. By providing legal training, advocacy skills, and organizing support, CCFC helps them secure land tenure and resist forced displacement.

✅ Strengthening Social Protection & Economic Security: Many peasants and informal workers lack access to healthcare, pensions, and financial support. CCFC works to increase awareness, organize savings groups, and advocate for inclusive social protection policies that safeguard rural livelihoods.

✅ Promoting Climate-Resilient & Sustainable Agriculture: Rural farmers face climate change challenges such as droughts, floods, and soil degradation. CCFC provides training on agroecology, organic farming, and climate-smart agriculture to enhance food security and reduce environmental harm.

✅ Protecting Natural Resources & Community Forests: Illegal logging, industrial agriculture, and land encroachment threaten Cambodia’s forests, biodiversity, and indigenous livelihoods. CCFC builds local capacity for forest protection, reforestation, and advocacy for stronger environmental laws.

✅ Developing Youth & Women Leadership for Social Change: Rural women and youth are often marginalized in decision-making. CCFC’s leadership training and digital advocacy programs help amplify their voices, strengthen grassroots movements, and promote gender equality.

✅ Building Strong Networks & Alliances for Policy Influence: Change happens when communities unite and advocate collectively. CCFC facilitates coalitions, provincial alliances, and partnerships that influence national policies on land rights, natural resources, and social protections.

The Impact of Community Capacity-Building

By investing in knowledge, leadership, and organization, CCFC ensures that rural communities are not just passive recipients of aid but active changemakers in building a more just, sustainable, and resilient Cambodia.
