Guided by Article 10 and Article 17 of the by-law, the CPDD conducts the Annual Congress, including Exchange Learning once a year with the active participation of its members and engagement of relevant stakeholders. The Congress is the highest decision-making of the coalition where members play a vital role in making decisions, as they democratically elect the board of directors, approve the by-law, strategic directions, internal regulations, annual work plan and budget, and key decisions of the organization. The Annual Congress also gives an opportunity to CPDD members, the Board of Directors (BoD), and the secretariat to develop a mutual understanding, and reflect/learn about the experience and challenges over the year.
In 2022, the CPDD conducted the Annual Congress on December 21, 2022 at Sunny Hotel, Kampot Province.
