From December 7th to 9th 2011, CCIM ran a workshop in Phnom Penh with 20 CBO members from 6 different provinces. Funded by Diakonia, the workshop sought to improve the impact of CBOs through better communication with the media. Participants were taught about effective ways to attract media coverage and communicate effectively. The program staff used interactive activities such as games, practice writing and group discussions. Upon completion, a survey indicated that most of the participants understood the aims of the workshops and would be able to reuse to techniques they had learned. In addition, 11 participants requested a follow-up workshop with CCIM staff and 16 stated that they were willing to spread the knowledge acquired at the workshop to their community.
