Royal Government of Cambodia [RGC] is currently in the drafting process of the organic laws that will frame legal and institutional basis for the management and administration of provinces and districts under Decentralization and De-concentration [D&D] Strategy adopted by the Government in 2005. Although the pace towards this end is gradual but eventually provincial and district level governments will be strengthened as more authority and resources are likely to be de-concentrated at those levels. Considering this outcome, there is a need to mobilize and strengthen NGOs at those levels as well.
Considering this, NGOs in Battambang around 16 met in June 2007 under initiative and support from Commune Council Support Project (CCSP) formed a network named Battambang Network to Support Decentralization and Deconcentration (BNSD).
