Background
PDAO is a lawful non-profit and non-government organization which neither plays politics nor serves any political interests, nor discriminates against any races, skin colors and/or religions. It is an independent organization, whose objectives are to bring about peace and social justice through rural development, which contributes to poverty alleviation in Cambodia. PDAO has began its operation and program implementation since July 2005 following the change of the strategy of HEKS Cambodia Programme in Phnom Penh. It was officially registered and endorsed in the Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Cambodia in 07 August 2005. Since then, PDAO had continuous support from HEKS in terms of financial and technical supports until ending 2007 as after 3 years as a respected and successful NGO, PDAO has now a solid foundation for its continued growth and development. It has an active Board of Director, a clear vision and mission, goals and value, which correspond to the needs of communities. Over its thirteen years of operation, PDAO has built its expertise and gained respect across the Cambodian community. We have a history of success in supporting participatory development and in supporting community-based organizations at both the rural community and provincial level.
