I.                   Introduction

 

1. Background: CSSSG is a local NGO which was established in 1993. CSSSG recognizes that two decades of civil war in Cambodia have had many negative consequences, including an authoritarian regime, anarchy, and harmful merchandise. Throughout Cambodia it is mostly the vulnerable people, lacking access to capital and beneficial ideas to solve their problems, who are exploited. CSSSG was created in order to address these issues.
