OVERVIEW Start date 01 June 2026 How to apply: Interested candidates are invited to submit: - A proposal describing how the evaluation will be conducted (including a budget in a separate file) - CV (s) - A written example of an evaluation already carried out Deadline 04 May 2026 at 23:59 GTM+7 Application to be submitted to: https://jobs.oxfamnovib.nl/job-invite/14324/ Assignment location: Remote – home-based, flexible location PURPOSE OF THIS CONTRACT Under the EU-funded ReCIPE (Recentering the Civic Internet through Partner Engagement) project of Oxfam, the direct motive for this consultancy assignment is to conduct a comprehensive Policy Analysis of Cambodia’s Digital Transformation. This involves evaluating Cambodia’s digital transformation agenda from a rights-holder perspective to ensure that technological advancement does not outpace rights-based protections. The findings and recommendations must be grounded in Oxfam’s Five Pillars of Rights in a Digital Age (RiaDA): Access and Equity, Security and Digital Civic Space, Responsible Data Use and Privacy, Automation and the Future of Work, and Governance. The research findings will be presented and discussed with Cambodian CSOs, particularly during CCC’s provincial network meetings, and shared with the Digital Rights Working Group, relevant government agencies, and Oxfam’s regional networks. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT Cambodia is undergoing a rapid digital evolution guided by the Digital Economy and Society Policy Framework 2021-2035 and the Digital Government Policy 2022-2035. As the nation moves into Phase 2 (2026-2030) of its digital leap, the focus has shifted toward "Accelerating Integration" across finance, agriculture, and public services. However, digital transformation is not neutral. Current trends show rising digital risks, including AI-generated misinformation, surveillance, and a significant digital literacy gap, with only 32% of the population possessing basic digital skills. Oxfam in Cambodia seeks to ensure this transformation is inclusive for marginalised groups, including women, informal workers, and rural communities, ensuring they are protected rights-holders within the digital ecosystem. SCOPE OF WORK The consultant will be responsible for the following key tasks: - Desk Review and Policy Mapping: Conduct a comprehensive review and SWOT analysis of key national policies, including the Cambodia Digital Economy and Society Policy Framework 2021-2035, Cambodia Digital Government Policy Framework (2022-2035), and draft laws on cybersecurity, cybercrime, personal data protection, digital government and scam while incorporating relevant regional and international commitments to which Cambodia is a party, particularly within ASEAN and UN-led digital transformation initiatives. - Primary Qualitative Research: To capture "lived experiences" and nuanced perspectives, consultancies utilise: - Key Informant Interviews (KIIs): Semi-structured interviews with high-level stakeholders, including legal experts, government officials, UN representatives, representatives of private companies, and CSO leaders. - Focus Group Discussions (FGDs): Group sessions with rights-holders and community members to understand collective concerns. - Thematic Analysis (Oxfam’s RiaDA Pillars): - Access & Equity: The policy compendium highlights the “Five As” of meaningful access- availability, affordability, awareness, accessibility, and ability- alongside an additional dimension, architecture, which affirms people’s right to shape the technologies that affect them. - Security & Digital Civic Space: This pillar entails the right to free expression, privacy, anonymity, safety from cyberviolence and the integrity of civic spaces, while opposing surveillance, shutdowns and repression. - Responsible Data Use & Privacy: Evaluate protections for personal data in public and private platforms. - Automation & Future of Work: Examine how digital labour platforms affect workers' rights. - Governance: Assess the transparency and accountability of digital decision-making. This pillar is not limited to digital decision-making alone, but also encompasses the development, deployment, and regulation of all digital technologies. - Strategic Recommendations: Develop actionable policy recommendations to ensure Cambodia’s digital agenda complies with international human rights standards. - Validation and Finalisation: Present findings in a stakeholder workshop and finalise documents based on feedback. DELIVERABLES The consultant shall provide the following key outputs within the designated three-month timeframe: - Inception Report: Detailing methodology, work plan, and list of key stakeholders. - Draft Policy Analysis Report: A comprehensive analysis including the SWOT and pillar-based assessment. - Final Policy Analysis Report (max. 8,000 words): Incorporating feedback from Oxfam and partners. - Policy Brief: A 4-page summary targeted at policymakers and CSOs.

Available to consult in working hours (9:00 to 17:00 hours) in South & South East Asia (GMT 5:30 to GMT 7:00) PURPOSE OF THIS CONSULTANCY The purpose of this assignment is to develop a website to: - Serve as a repository for one of Oxfam’s Flagship Water Governance Programmes – TROSA’s learnings, impacts, knowledge products, and stories for long-term public access. - Promote awareness and education on inclusive water governance among youth, women, community leaders, policymakers, civil society organisations, businesses, researchers, and academics. - Promote regional cooperation and cross-border dialogue for inclusive and just water governance. - Showcase community voices, local innovations, and youth and women’s leadership in water governance. - Encourage and nurture partnerships for inclusive water governance. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT Transboundary Rivers of South Asia (TROSA), implemented since 2017, has catalysed important progress in inclusive water governance, climate resilience, and regional cooperation across the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basins. A key strength of TROSA lies in its extensive network of 18 regional and national partners, enabling deep engagement across diverse geographies and communities in South Asia. This wide geographic coverage, combined with strong partnerships and community-driven knowledge, has generated valuable insights, stories, and evidence for civil society, practitioners, researchers, policy actors, and future regional initiatives. As the programme approaches the end of its second, and possibly final, phase, a dedicated website is being envisioned as a digital space to: - Preserve TROSA’s learning and impact and leave a legacy for future use and reference - Celebrate its multi-country, partnership-focused model and demonstrate TROSA’s regional programme - Inspire continued collaboration and serve as a knowledge hub on water governance across South Asia.
