Building Quality Together


Chab Dai team finished a week of strategic planning for our activities in the upcoming year. Each of the 6 project teams met to review and evaluate our activities, lessons learned, and impact last year.
Based on our evaluation of each project's strengths and weaknesses, we drafted goals for each quarter in 2011-2012.

A running theme for the Learning Community Project was QUALITY.
This year we want to focus on quality rather than quantity by:
  • Building the capacity of our existing members, rather than the size of the coalition (this year we grew by over 15%);
  • Focusing on offering only practical and contextualized training;
  • AND cleaning our library (almost 2,000 resources in 3 languages) to focus on sharing only the most relevant and helpful books and research with our members.
Other Learning Community events to stay-tuned for this year are:
  • A new Khmer website customized for our members to use
  • Advocating for dignity and respect of our clients in the dissemenation of our media policy
  • Assessing the project gap areas in the provinces
  • Starting a new, Khmer-led, Leadership Forum.
Through the goal-setting training and planning sesssions the bonds of our team strengthened and we are excited for the new year ahead! Please pray for wisdom as we finalize our plans on the following weeks and put them into action!
