This Study Brief provides a brief snapshot of the findings from a study of the functionality of Commune Committees for Women and Children (CCWCs) in Cambodia. The study found that most CCWCs surveyed were minimally functional, but that they have begun moving beyond their mandate as a coordination and referral mechanism, towards taking responsibility for delivering child protection services themselves. However, due to CCWCs’ limited technical capacity, these services were often inadequate, which could potentially result in placing children at continued risk.
