Today, CARE focuses on empowering particularly marginalised and vulnerable women in Cambodia, including urban women who are marginalised by occupation, rural women who are denied multiple rights, and women and girls from ethnic minorities.
The Global Learners Project is a new project aimed to increase capacity of Cambodian youth in- and out-of-school for collective action to identify and address local problems using Global Citizenship Education concepts focused on key thematic areas (Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution; Youth Leadership; and Community Development).

The SPOs will work with CARE’s Gender Technical Advisor to help ensure that the project is gender inclusive, with the aim of it becoming gender transformative. The SPO will contribute to donor reporting through monitoring project progress and supporting the collection and analysis of project data.
