The project manager will maintain a project monitoring blog over the life of the project. This blog will be the main forum of documenting and reporting with updates including pictures on a regular basis as well as being the formal forum for a quarterly report with detailed updates on progress and comparative results date, pictures, stories and etc. to document the overall progress of the project towards the objectives (the quarterly financial report will be sent separately to ADRA Australia). The blog will be written in both Khmer and English where possible and will be frequently updated with pictures, good news stories and short videos to display the various components of the project and to document the successes and challenges experienced. It is believed that a blog is an excellent way to share information about the project both locally and internationally; and raise awareness of the environmental issues which the project it aiming to combat.
During the early stages this project will collaborate with the current ADRA CHIEB project to share expertise about the construction of the concrete ring wells. As well additional linkages with environmental management and forestry stakeholders will be made for ongoing learning and coordination. Once the project is operational it will share the blog with all ADRA offices and NGOs in Cambodia and abroad who are interested in climate change and the environment. The blog is an excellent way to share information about the project to a wider audience and also show the successes and challenges of the approaches taken. Often much of the learning from a project is contained within a report only seen by a handful of people; the blog allows this information to be shared with all who are interested just by sending a link. Interactive feedback will also be a key part of the blog which will also serve as a forum for tackling challenges and seeking out solutions and useful information. The project will disseminate information at each ADRA Cambodia Programs Committee to share with other managers and offices. The project will also share information with existing teak plantations on the best methods and practices for successfully operating a teak plantation and seek their collaboration. It is expected that ADRA Australia desk officers will find this forum useful to have up-to-date progress information as well as have regularly documented feedback opportunities.
