On December 12, 2024, the NGO Forum on Cambodia (NGOF) and the Fair for All project team lit up the stage at Raffles Le Royal Hotel, Phnom Penh, for a dynamic Multi-Stakeholders' Dialogue on the Banana and Rubber Sectors! 🍌🌳
With 48 passionate participants (including 11 inspiring women 💪), the dialogue tackled the critical issues faced by Cambodia’s smallholder farmers—like limited market access, resource gaps, and unpredictable prices—while emphasizing the vital role of rubber and bananas in driving Cambodia’s economy forward.
🚀 Collaboration in Action:
Co-organized with Transparency International Cambodia (TIC), this powerhouse event brought together government leaders, private sector giants, civil society advocates, and farmers themselves! Together, they rolled up their sleeves to brainstorm solutions for:
✅ Policy reforms
✅ Fiscal accountability
✅ Sustainable value chains
🌟 Big Wins:
🔥 19 out of 22 regional issues RESOLVED!
🔥 Strengthened alliances for cost reduction, certification systems, and real-time price updates.
OXFAM and NGOF took center stage to champion progressive policies, capacity-building initiatives, and sustainable practices that will empower smallholders, boost investment accountability, and create a more equitable economic future for Cambodia. 💚✨
👉 This is what change looks like—collaborative, impactful, and inclusive!
