As a lawmaker, I wish to commend Daniel de Carteret and Vincent MacIsaac for reporting on the perks paid by the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC) to government ministries.

Civil society is often defined as the aggregate of non-governmental organizations and institutions that manifest interests and the will of citizens. It is recognized globally that these civil society organizations (CSOs) are instrumental in combating poverty and improving livelihoods of poor people.

Given their experience working at the grass-root level, the engagement of CSOs in policy making is critical to ensure relevance, effectiveness and sustainability of those policies.
