Two times per year, Forum Syd organises a meeting with all its partner organisations in Cambodia. The first meeting in 2010 is held 16 - 17 June and the programme team departures to Sihanoukville together with representatives from all partner organisations. Participants from the three new partners, KYSD, KADRA and My Village will also join the meeting as observers. The aim is to share experiences among each other and to improve networking and coordination. This meeting will focus on questions related to financial management and capacity building, but it will aslo bring up discussions concerning the new anti-corruption law.
