Open Forum of Cambodian
The Open Forum of Cambodia was created in late 1994 by the initiative to organize dialog in Cambodian society as its name says. The OFC strived to fulfill its work as one of the Non-Governmental Organizations inCambodia by providing the first e-mail service in the country since 1994 as a tool to facilitate for the dialog and to provide a basis to address social concern.
Key activities of the Open Forum of Cambodia were to provide communication through electronic mail and publication. Since 2003, the Open Forum of Cambodia had enlarged its program activities in the creation and management of websites, computer training and Khmer Unicode used in computers.
Vision: Vision of Open Forum of Cambodia is information technology helps Cambodia to become an honest, efficient and economically prosperous and open democracy.
Mission: The Mission of the Open Forum of Cambodia is to always be accountable to our stakeholders and donors and to provide technology based opportunity and resources for Cambodia’s marginalized groups (youths, women, elderly, poor, etc.) to develop measurable outcomes that work towards building OFC’s vision. OFC will perform its mission with the following guidelines:
- Helping marginalized Cambodians acquire an informed view of the present social and political situation in Cambodia, as the basis for mutual comprehension and genuine practical cooperation in order to stimulate increasing participation; helping marginalized Cambodians to have their opinions, thoughts and experiences shared with the rest of the country and world.
- Facilitating and advocating through research the use of information and communication technologies (contents and tools) in Cambodia. Helping Cambodians learn how to use it and take advantage of it for the purpose of strengthening dialog as well as personal/economic development—because the two are intertwined.
- Providing and encouraging relevant technology services that are sustainable and accountable to the donors and stakeholders.
- Re-investing any and all profits back into improving the type, quality, and quantity of OFC’s activities benefiting our target group.
