Request for Proposal: Policy Review Consultant

CICADA is seeking proposals for: Policy Review Consultant, To conduct a review and develop a directory of policies related to status of the artist (for Cambodia)

Background

CICADA (Cultural and Creative Industries of Cambodia Association for Development and Advocacy) is a newly formed Association, which envisions a thriving, diverse, empowered CCI that contributes to a flourishing Cambodian society. Our mission is to impact national policies through leading research, capacity building and dialogue to mobilise the development and growth of the CCIs for national and global recognition of Cambodian arts, culture and creativity. CICADA has five strategic priorities: advocacy and policy influence, research, membership, industry partnership, and organizational development.

In 2023, CICADA receives a grant from UNESCO Aschberg to implement a project on ‘Building a Knowledge-base to improve the Status of the Artist in Cambodia’. This project aims to advance the artistic freedom at a national level in Cambodia by addressing gaps in information that limit the capacity of civil society to effectively advocate for improved policies in relations to cultural and creative industries, in particular the status of the artist.

In order to capture the overall landscape of the status of the creative and cultural industries and the artist, CICADA is looking for a consultant in order to conduct a comprehensive policy review to build a profile of national and international laws and policies impacting the status of the artist in Cambodia.

The reason for this project is that generally not only is the arts community not aware of existing policies or legislation that apply to them but also lacks knowledge of their responsibilities e.g. with regards to working practices. This puts cultural workers (including artists) at risk of not complying with laws, or not being fully able to exercise rights and protections they are entitled to.
