International Cooperation Cambodia (ICC) is a group of five Christian Agencies working in Cambodia, seeking to help the countries poor and disadvantaged and bring the message of God's love. We are seeking an Executive Director to develop and implement ICC's overall, strategies, policies and goals. They will be required to lead and motivate a multi-national team, relating to the ICC Board for accountability. The post holder will be responsible for representing the organisation with Cambodian Government and international funders.
Two strategic target groups have been identified: Ethnic minorities and families. Each project predominantly focuses on one of these target groups. However, projects focusing on ethnic minorities might also target families. ICC's projects would target these groups through various strategic partnerships.
ICC presently has around 18 expatriate staff and around 130 Cambodian staff. The Head office and ED position is based in Phnom Penh. ICC is registered as an international organisation yet exclusively focuses on Cambodia, thus it can be described as locally based.
ICC defines its identity and role as a Christian organisation as follows:
- The motivation behind our work is to love others as God loved us first
- We see that change comes from within, thus we aim to focus on attitudes, values, and knowledge.
- We would like to see people changed wholistically - i.e. physical, social and spiritual change.
- We want to see the church as a major stakeholder.
- We would like to apply biblical principles in our work as much as possible.
- ICC's work is guided by Christian values, even if not all national staff are Christian.
ICC sees its role as a locally based international NGO as follows:
- Pioneering in areas and issues where local organisations do not yet have skills, access or experience.
- Supporting, partnering with and enabling local civil society organisations.
