    USAID/Cambodia issued a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit insights for the Civil Society Resilience (CSR) Activity focusing on enhancing civil society sustainability in Cambodia. Due on March 11, 2024, the RFI invites feedback from civic actors, industry stakeholders, and organizations regarding proposed approaches to bolster the resilience of civil society in light of its challenges. These include dependency on international donor funding and deteriorating legal and operational conditions. Key questions posed revolve around strategies to support long-term democratic development, enhance accessibility to flexible funding, as well as improve local capacity-building efforts. Additional focal points include effective coordination among Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to advocate for democratic reforms and the development of a realistic theory of change for strengthening civil society resilience. The document emphasizes that this RFI is for information gathering, not an application for funding, and highlights the importance of confidentiality in responses. It serves as a precursor to potential future funding opportunities announced separately. Overall, the RFI represents an effort to engage local insights to inform USAID's strategies aimed at fostering a robust civil society in Cambodia amidst increasing challenges.
