Antecedentes

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has taken effective steps in promoting living conditions of persons with disabilities in Cambodia, and thus there were the evidence of ratification of UNCRPD, signature of the Marrakesh Treaty, development of the National Disability Strategic Plan 2019-2023, amending to the disability law. The Royal Government of Cambodia created institutional mechanisms for the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities such as the Disability Action Council (DAC), Persons with Disabilities Foundation, Department of Welfare for Persons with Disabilities and the Disability Rights Administration in the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth (MoSVY).

The Prakas (No.002) on the organization and functioning of the Provincial DAC at provinces and towns was issued in 2014. The Prakas aimed to define the organization and functioning of the Disability Action Council as a mechanism for coordination and consultation on disability issues at the capital and provincial levels. Article 3 of the Prakas has clearly mentioned the key roles and duties of the Provincial DAC as follows:

Provide technical advisory support on disability issues and rehabilitation at the Municipal/Provincial level;
Support in development of policies, national plan and strategies related to disability and rehabilitation at the Municipal/Provincial level;
Promote the implementation of policies, law, and other regulations related to disability at the Municipal/Provincial level;
Monitor and evaluate the implementation of policies, national plan, law and other regulations related to disability issues at the Municipal/Provincial level and report on the situation of persons with disabilities at the Municipal/Provincial level to the DAC;
Communicate with national and international communities to exchange experiences and mobilise resources locally and internationally;
Organise the national and international day of persons with disabilities, and other disability events;
Promote and monitor the implementation of the CRPD at the Municipal/Provincial level and provide the progress report.

However, some Provincial DACs remain facing a challenge to perform their roles and duties based on the Prakas. The limitation of organizing the effective meeting with the members, the development of the annual work plan and budget plan, monitoring and evaluation of their activities, and how to report in result based oriented. They also have a challenge to monitor and develop the UNCRPD report which is one of the key roles to support the Disability Action Council at the sub national level. Given the fact that roles and responsibilities of provincial DAC are crucial to promote the rights of persons with disabilities at the sub national, a proper guiding documents and road map to guide the Provincial DACs to effectively perform their roles and duties is needed.
