        This article provides lessons learned on establishing effective community participation in two externally funded, NGO-implemented health projects working at district level in Cambodia. The first project was implemented in accordance with the Cambodian national guidelines on community participation. The second – using lessons and experiences gained as a result of the first project – worked with Buddhist pagoda volunteers. Primary research was conducted in both settings to assess the effectiveness of the two participation strategies. The article concludes that the success of community participation in externally funded health projects with relatively short implementation timeframes requires engagement with existing communitybased organizations and agencies. In Cambodia, where Theravada Buddhism is the dominant religion, pagodas and associated volunteers appear to represent such an organization. Community participation structured around pagoda volunteers – who are held in high esteem within their local communities – is more effective and sustainable than newly (and externally) established community structures with formally elected representatives. Pagodas and associated volunteers in rural Cambodia offer the advantages of effective leadership, local organization, resource mobilization and management. It is recommended that programmes and agencies wishing to adopt community participation strategies in health utilize participatory research to identify the most appropriate local organization to lead such initiatives.

        Author: UNFPA  Published: 8-Feb-2000  
        This report assesses the current situation in the areas of population and development,reproductive health and gender, and proposes recommendations for strategic actions for addressing identified critical needs. The situational analysis has been guided by the International Conference on Population and Development - Programme of Action (ICPD-PoA). The ICPD recognised that population and development are inextricably linked and both depend on the empowerment of women. It focused on meeting the reproductive and sexual health needs of individual women, men and couples rather than on demographic targets. The analysis aims at establishing a framework for the development of the UNFPA-assisted country programme within` the context of the country's overall strategies and needs,as well as within LNTPA's mandate and comparative advantage:UNTPA's mandate is to assist developing countries, at their request, to improve reproductive health care and to promote sustainable development. Reproductive health care includes family planning, sexual health, information and counselling, and medical services, all on the basis of individual choice. The Fund also supports integration of population into development strategies, capacity building for generating and utilising data for policies and programmes, research and training on population and development.

        Training of commune staff in providing contraceptives and counselling is most important to overcome misunderstanding and unfounded beliefs. Main focus is women and men in villages in the rural area.When starting community based activities it is important to set up objectives with the commune staff and the healthcentre committees to do a good follow-up.Community based activities should be a priority in order to bring services as close as possible to the population.

        Very little has been documented about the role and effectiveness of health
volunteers in Cambodia, with only limited local research having been completed. In Cambodia volunteer programs have been implemented with support from international organizations since 1992. Debate exists concerning the effectiveness of health volunteer programs, despite the continuing use of this method for involving communities in health education.

The purpose of this project is to determine the perceptions held about
community-based health volunteers, assist the national bodies that run these programs to critically analyse current VHV activities and suggest recommendations for future work with VHVs in a sustainable manner.

        In response to the national guidelines of the MoH to implement Community-Based Health Insurance in Cambodia which is one of the key components of the Health Financing Strategy of the government, the Reproductive and Child Health Alliance (RACHA), an NGO primarily funded by USAID, launched its Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) pilot project in Tasah, Pursat Province in August 2006. The assessment conducted six months after its implementation showed some positive results. The project in its tender phase has sprouted some promising impression. Actual records from the HC disclosed that adult CBHI members constitute 20% of the total clients served by Tasas HC in terms of OPD consultations and check-up. Children with CBHI coverage comprise 15% of the total pediatric OPD consultation.
