Ministry Focal Points
In Phase 1, the Ponlok Chomnes Program recognized the importance of engaging with ministries early on and therefore have been engaging with 21 Ministry Focal Points. In Phase 2, the Program team has decided to continue and refine this practice to align with the program’s commitment to sustaining and improving successful engagement strategies.
Potential engagement of the Ministry Focal Points with the Program includes:
- Share crucial policy process information, including research and dialogue updates on behalf of their ministries. From the Program’s side, send regular updates.
- Participate in Ponlok Chomnes policy dialogue.
- Facilitate connections with relevant individuals within their ministry and across networks.
- Engage in knowledge-sharing sessions, including topics like M&E, research methodologies, and data sourcing organized by the Program.
