Lacking of human resources is an issue for the developing countries. All development needs skill and expertise. Yet the human resources are not mobilized properly for example some scholars were not used for developing the nation. Those intellectuals who do not have trends or favors of the politicians vision have been downplaying or ignored and others have barely acquiesced that is why they[ scholars] do not have a chance to make the decision then they are frustrated.
For those who are always in favor of the politicians. And they are supporting the policy of the party then they have bestowed ranks or senior position of departments for almost sector and are frequently on the limelight. That is why there are happening of nepotism and human resources are not paying attention.
Human resources are the driving forces to accelerate the social development and they make value on the scholars based on their graduation in high degrees. However, some countries like Cambodia the political leaders make value for those who have a favor to their politics rather than talented skills or expertise due to the political influence. This situation marred the scholars to get involved in the national development activities in light of the officials always downplay them. Also, they had experienced a culture of nip scholars in the bud and nepotism in the working-places which are barriers for optimizing human resources.
The main thing is now resolving the problem together for the national benefits basically focused on setting human resources in place through motivation in order to develop the nation; enable mobilizing the human for the specific target and transfer uptakes and experience to the younger generation. Therefore, they must remove the barriers of nepotism and political coloring toward national unity.
Burma to Host ASEAN Summit Next Year
Burma shall host to design for the ASEAN top meeting by 2014. It would be great honor for this beleaguered nation being bestowed the position of ASEAN chair. However, Burma has to gear up in addressing challenges. Designing for ASEAN top meeting is a huge honor for the nations in the Southeast Asia focused on such rotating role, on which Burma used to face both presidency of the ASEAN and chair of the ASEAN summit over time.
In the past, Burma was forced itself to distance from gaining the position in light of the Western boycott apparently. Yet, because of Burma was ruled by military regime which was being sanctioned globally.
Recently, Burma has been making the differences over the political reforms. This government was typically ruled by civil administration and Peace Nobel Prize Laureate was released to be free then she became a parliamentarian. The international communities have friendly hailed and mesmerized the new civil government which has reformed economics and was freed from huge sanctions as well.
The current presidency role of ASEAN summit Brunei will be ended this year and this role will be handed over to Burma by 2014. Over that year, Burma shall prepare many meetings of the ASEAN framework including the ASEAN summit within the participation from the super power nations in the world like Japan, United States, China and Russia. Therefore, it will be challenged for such preparation due to Burma lacks of human resources and standard setting out for internationally-structured top meetings.
Besides, the main issues in terms of position as chair of the ASEAN is the South Chinese archipelago conflict that will be a tug-of-war of facing between the United States and China. Just keep in mind that the experience of the presidency for Cambodia of the ASEAN top meeting previously had encountered the disappointment once relevant to the South Chinese sea.
Therefore, on behalf of ASEAN's head for top meeting holding in 2014 the Burmese government must reckon punctiliously between the contentious neighboring countries over the island archipelago and the China giant. It means that chairing of the ASEAN of the Burmese government, it will face disharmony between countries who have affinities to China and America basically on which they both have been influencing in Asian potentials.
On the other hands, this government has another challenge is the religious violent conflict which killed many people and caused hundreds of thousands of immigrants. This violence diagnoses the human rights violation.
Skeptically, it is very soon to hand over presidency of ASEAN to Burmese government which is not addressing the issues of human rights properly yet. However, this government has significantly reformed progressively so the bestowing the ASEAN chair is a positive signal for motivation for the Burmese leader to aim at more comprehensive reforms toward the international community's demand focused on human rights and democracy.

Though Countries Riche Of Natural Resources But Remains Poor
In the world, some countries are plenty of great natural resources including locations at the submarine, underground and on the land but those countries still being poor. The underlying resources like ores of gold, gemstones, iron, and other ores located in almost everywhere of the countries like in the sea (crude oil and gas) and river (rich fish). On the land, they notice there are forest and mountains and other agricultural resources. This indicates that some countries in the world, especially countries in Southeast Asia, for instance, Cambodia is really rich of natural resources but they are still in poor condition of living.
There may have many reasons, due to the civil war of the nations which they had destroyed those natural resources by selling them out aiming at fighting like they sold precious stones, luxury woods or rosewoods to the neighboring countries. So in this flashpoint, the natural resources were deemed as a curse because of the armed forces did not use them for the development process of the nation but for a mutual fight, instead of. Another the point, because there is no transparent and better management on the resources. Obviously, they are extremely exploiting of forest, fish, mining and sand resources but the national revenue consists of leakage or rupture in light of loophole of the strong national income financial management.
Corruption is also a part of the social development which is still alarming like in Cambodia. In addition, the education system related to the skills of mining, oil shale, gas exploring including the lode, vein, and seam are limited or they do not have developed this education system.
The poor countries which exist the natural resources could not harvest the huge extraction interests unless they would employ their local workers in sectors of mine exploitation.
Catching a glimpse at Singapore, it does not even exist many natural resources like other countries, for example, Cambodia but they have the initiative, innovative and keen talents and perspectives to control the transparency and accountability of national income and economy so this nation became the economical-influence country in Southeast Asia.
As a whole, they need transparency and high responsibility for the national resources so that it would help the development of the country and stands benefit equally to individuals.

The community, human resources and socioeconomic development project implementation will be processing within high cost-effective and efficiency if the transparency being carried out in the process.
The transparency is the opportunity for people to participate with the discussion and any decision of the government development projects so that to protect their interests in the community including the dialogue which related to their local village development and affect to the dwelling or loan. Yet, all the organizations and other institutions must be open for the public to access relevant information pieces otherwise it would be a challenge for the transparency framework in light of enabling the loss of natural resources and revenues for example about the service of product sale, tax levied which generate the national incomes. In addition, the absence of open information is likely to have the dictatorship as well.

More importantly, the natural resources will be gone, so the governments have to take care of legacy for another younger generation for continuing development of the nation. Especially, the governments should have a mechanism for national and all sector public financial management for example regulation, policy or any kinds of law draft for the sake of nation’s prosperity.

Woman’s Participation is a Vital Role
Every one had realized the definition of leadership in many different ways, which may be meant that the act affects to the behavior of others in making their decision to achieve a goal. And for the long past, we also had heard about the leadership of the women which has engaged in the senior-woman-glorified democracy. The woman’s leadership is soft and effective, patient, being collaborative manner and understanding the organization's rank and files around her, particularly for the subordinate workers. It looks different from the man’s leadership which is challenged, and preferring to use the power without understanding.
At the present, there are attentions from the government and civil society organization to work and improve the promoting of the gender equality. That is why there is increasing of the number of woman get involved in the political and social development remarkably so that the woman is able to participate with a decision-making process too. However, the barriers of social culture, and concepts of the family are still paralyze the woman’s participation that they could harness the potentiality, ability, effectiveness, efficiency and leadership.
Based on the view indicates that the man is dynamic who is able to envisage much more than woman ever, and they are mesmerized or upbeat and earned support better than woman in both role and making the decisions or opportunities.
Because of such gender inequality, it also paralyses the performance and acting the leadership of the woman in the social development or community participation. Basically, the woman not only performs duty in the home chore but also plays a social vital role for a development society. This is the keen leadership art of a woman to be revealed and performed effectively even the woman sometimes meets the challenges. The woman must overcome any hardship including the perspective of gender inequality by harnessing her talents so that to promote and enhance the gender equality and equity as well as woman empowerment—to be successful on this, to working through the media or technology.
Therefore, it is very crucial for the stakeholders and relevant government to work for the benefits of gender equality through media intended the woman access to empower and mainstream her. Yet, they should work to encourage and motivate the woman to increasingly participate with political engagement.

Culture of Powerful Person’s Intervention for Benefits in Society
They always see that the senior officials in the government line use their power and influence to find out their own boons at all management levels and the local authority dare not to take measure or any actions over those powerful officials even they commit any flagrante delicto in the society or seriously affected to the poor community's interests. It is so sad that they use their power originated from the people to influence for self-interests. Sometimes, they use the names on behalf of the senior leaders to blackmail, for example land grabbing. Those who use those names are usually working closely or have affinity to the powerful persons (high-profile) or relatives. Whenever there are interest conflicts, the high-profile or those who have influences frequently interfere in the resolution.
It is very difficult to resolve the problems within the interference from the powerful persons because the competent body feels afraid of their influence. Therefore, the local authority or law enforcement officials are bias and affiliate with the high profile because of fear so that they would gain benefits too. Such action leads to the social injustice, especially the poor community people are most vulnerable and affected from the social injustice.
We do not have an idea on how to stop them. The social analysts eye that this happens because the people make value drastically to the power or high-ranking position even they use unfettered power in the wrong ways. The victims suffer from this influence are the poor community basically. This problem is very sensitive to the ruling party.
In order to remove this bad culture of using of influence for interests. They have to restrict and abide by the law enforcement. They have to take measure for those powerful and opportunistic officials. More importantly, they have to delete the mindset or concept that the inferior must fear of the superior. Instead, they have to understand that those powerful officials are the representatives of citizen so they must serve population “nation” not use power to dominate citizen.
If we see that whenever they became as parliament originated from the people’s vote then they use the unfettered power in illegal ways for their own boons. We are the people must blow the whistle and force them to make a plea for guilty because we have the equal rights in front of the law. We make value, and adhered to the decorum, morality and mutual respect in the society but we would not condone the high-profile to dominate the law by sitting on a paper-law-only.

Transparency of Natural Resources for Economic Development Growth
Actually, for a process of development in some countries, they always need and rely on their own natural resources. However, the experts said that whenever there are abundances of natural resources; it may lead to forgetting of the economic operation then the economic growth will decrease. Besides, the revenue which originates from the natural resources also may trigger the gaps of the nations and committing of corruption if without transparent governing. The experts added that natural resources may be an opportunity to change the poor economy toward a splendid economy if the states have a comprehensive ability in the application of effective management strategy.
For those nations which are plenty of natural resources but there have no adequate ability to administer or control them then they would be able to seek assistance from the international communities. We see that the World Bank which is one out of institutions who provides facilitation for the developing countries while they ask for help. This institution used to publish the extractive industries transparency initiatives in its program so that to help the poor countries aiming at expanding development, prevention of corruption as well as expression of the participation in the management of the government, civil society industries and all stakeholders to get involved in enabling the effective and transparent natural resources management.
The international communities are able to assist the poor countries within being rich in natural resources to have a fair contract with the private company in the activity of exploring natural resources. The statute for natural resources is a set of principles for citizens and government including guidelines for information accessibility, inventory policy, and contract, transparency of revenue and bidding and improvement of controlling on how to use natural resources effectively.
To inspire the government to hold its accountability, we need to have a firm group of the public that consists of different diversity and components. They must have knowledge of natural resources management. The transparent management of natural resources would not be achievable if without precise and independent media outlets. Therefore, the civil society would help to build the group of the public as a bridge between community people, private sectors, government, and media focused on information flow.
There are some countries in the world that are rich natural resources and succeeded in revenue control including Oman, Chile, Malaysia, and Botswana.
The natural resources are the great input for changing and improvement of the nation’s economical growth unless the leaders have high dedication and goodwill to manage them well for sustainable development in integrity manners.

The Good Governance
According to the communal administrative government, the commune administration is one who plays a vital role in a model of good governance by administering of the existing resources for ensuring the sustainability so that to meet the needs of local community people based on providing of common benefits.
Good governance was defined as different meanings according to the real status. Through a simple definition which it means that it is an approach which the organization uses for governing social economics and national security and stand benefits to the community people.

That is a good way to enable people to receives well-being and enough energy in order to contribute or participate in the socio-economic activities intensively. There must have good and enough education services for all common people to enable them to gain knowledge and intensive skill so that they are able to create lots of best appropriate opportunities for themselves. Also, to establish the opportunities for common people for receiving benefits from economic activities and jobs so that they would generate income to meet the fundamental needs for example food, clothe, a shelter for them and their families aw well.
These above mentioned points were carried out by ensuring to the consumption of sustainable resources and protection of environment too. Previously, we just see that there is only the government side to play a key role in a model of good governance. But today there are many initiatives which indicate that both the private sector and civil society organizations engage playing a vital role in governing economics and social affairs. Here are the three main actors for good governance—these include administration which the most important actor, private sector and civil society organization on which they must work to collaborate.
There are different influences of the private sector and civil society organization based on countries basically political system, favorable natural resources conditions, citizen, geography, culture, history and level of economic development. For example, in some countries the private sector and civil society organization consist of wide influence and scale or extent but others, the private sector and civil society organization have slightly influence, opportunities and power toward the national affairs.

Community Development Requires to Engage Women’s Health Improvement
Though the government and NGOs or private sectors are working basically focused on Gender mainstreaming to aim at community sustainable development but they should emphasize on a healthcare sector as well in the project implementation plan. Health for women is very important due to they also work as well as the men do, the main issues related to the women’s health is reproductive health.
Therefore the government should pay high attention on this concern. Some articles of the national constitutions also stipulate that the government has to set up the infirmaries and maternity centers available to the rural community…the government must take care of children and mothers. The state must design to have nurseries and support for those needless women who have got many children in the family burden. The labor law also stated that the women would receive maternity leave and abortion action in order to protect the benefits of people and women basically. Yet the government has been enhancing the implementation of its action plan in favor of the Millennium Development Goal 5 which underscores the mother health improvement and Millennium Development Goal 6 which combats AIDS, malaria and other diseases on which aim at reducing a rate of those infectious diseases.
Despite they noticed the women still seriously face the health issues and the understanding of community women is limited, for example the women have high prevalence of receiving the venereal diseases infection more than men. The mother mortality rate is still worrisome and being alarming.
The government should allocates a budget enough to sponsor the women’s health service and amount of nurses and medical equipment must be available to the rural community areas too.
In conclusion, in order to build development of the society or community we should have more specific and efficient approach to cope with the challenges of women’s health. The government has to increase more national budget for project implementation focused on health, basically promoting of women’s health service by establishing medical nursing centers, there are enough nurses and midwives within better service. The government, NGOs or civil society or private sectors have to raise awareness to citizens on how to take care of health. There should have a program to motivate the women to participate with planning for enhancement of healthcare project.
As long as the women have good health so they must be very active to get involved in the economic and social development process by producing high productivity for their national prosperity because they are the backbone for the national development.

Developing Country Inhabitants Should Care of Medical Checkup
Currently, the health issue is the main agenda of the inhabitants who are living and working in their locality. They always ask each other about health whenever they meet daily. More young people or adults start to have the problem of health amid the health system is still poor yet. Mostly community people feel less care of their health examination unless they get sick then they would go to see the nurse or doctors for a checkup. It means that they go to see the health professionals unless they get sickness only.
Health issue is very crucial and it is more likely a quiet war to attack all people and family, for example, the latent sickness on which weakens our functioning physiques gradually.
Whenever the people get the age of over 40 they mostly always get some kinds of sickness. And we could not assume that the normal appearances of persons do not exist any kind of sickness unless while they go see the doctors for medical checkup. It is generally for many people have to check health frequently so that they are able to prevent illness and get some bits of doctor’s advice. Most of some persons never get medical checkups throughout their lives except they get a serious illness. In developed countries, people always go to see the physician for medical checkups even they are looked having good health or not getting the sickness. It is very important for us to have medical checkups so that we can realize the syndrome or any vital signs to prevent illness ahead.
However, the majority of community people rarely care of this medical checkup. They only go to meet the doctors or health professionals in case of, whenever they get sick and some are just taking medicines themselves at homes without any medical descriptions while they are not staying in a serious case.
It is just alert that the people should go to see the physician for a medical checkup so that we can prevent any kind of illness before the illness can spread more seriously until it is impossible to be treated.
Sometimes, it does not mean that the people would not like to go to see the doctors or health professionals but it might because of poor health systems or access to equality in health services are not implemented well, especially targeting at the rural community health sectors. For example, the hospitals are located far away, the quality of nurses or health professional are still lagged, the treatment cost is very high, the physician is derelict to patients and the bad behaviors of health workers towards the patients. Those are the sad things and marred patients going to see the physician or they do not even have the ability to pay for treatment fees at all.
Despite the health centers or hospitals were developed at target areas to be available for people to get access of health services, they have to improve and sophisticate the quality of health working to meet the need of community people. And the people must recognize that medical checkup is very important for their health. They should be careful in eating and food options which are a threat to harm health. Keep in mind that prevention is better than treatment.

Health issue is very crucial and it is more likely a quiet war to attack all people and family, for example, the latent sickness on which weakens our functioning physiques gradually.
Whenever the people get the age of over 40 they mostly always get some kinds of sickness. And we could not assume that the normal appearances of persons do not exist any kind of sickness unless while they go see the doctors for medical checkup. It is generally for many people have to check health frequently so that they are able to prevent illness and get some bits of doctor’s advice. Most of some persons never get medical checkups throughout their lives except they get a serious illness. In developed countries, people always go to see the physician for medical checkups even they are looked having good health or not getting the sickness. It is very important for us to have medical checkups so that we can realize the syndrome or any vital signs to prevent illness ahead.
However, the majority of community people rarely care of this medical checkup. They only go to meet the doctors or health professionals in case of, whenever they get sick and some are just taking medicines themselves at homes without any medical descriptions while they are not staying in a serious case.
It is just alert that the people should go to see the physician for a medical checkup so that we can prevent any kind of illness before the illness can spread more seriously until it is impossible to be treated.
Sometimes, it does not mean that the people would not like to go to see the doctors or health professionals but it might because of poor health systems or access to equality in health services are not implemented well, especially targeting at the rural community health sectors.

Understanding of the Cambodian Community Marriage
Marriage is a critical thing that is meaningful and happens to all people once a time throughout their lives. Then, they have to deeply think about it before they start getting involved in possible marriage. We are not sure about the figure of the age for those who are married; there are many individuals both young and old persons who get married in Cambodia.
Community tradition and custom had cherished the values of marriage for all persons. For those couples who did not pass through the marriage would be facing criticism and the children of them who are named as a bastard (a non-marital child). The others would not like to have a relationship for engagement or marry him/her (bastard) because they do not want to disgrace the family tree.
Based on the understanding of this value of tradition and custom including family fame, the parents always mentor their children to follow the custom trace by spending money to fill duty (in reaching to marriage absolutely.) And they prevent the fame of family tree and custom as well strictly, basically to prevent a scandal tarnishing.
The marriage held in the rural community not only according to the tradition/ custom but also is registered as a legal certificate. Linkage of a traditional wedding without being registered a certificate, it means that even the couples live together in the society and were recognized as a spouse, however referring to the law describes that this spouse is living and was not married. Such marriage may have complex issues should there has a divorce and/ or the wife/husband betrays to have another spouse. That is why the parents and elders appeal to a spouse to go for legal registration.
Presently, there are few spouses whose marriage stemmed from the matchmakers. Instead, at least they have known each other several years before they are able to reach marriage. It looks different from the past that the matchmakers or the elders always let or encourage their children to get married even they are just only 16 or 17. But today, they must be over 20 or 30 to get married because some of them are learning, earning money to save for a wedding and others are busy with jobs.
Of course, in order to start marrying it requires spending much money based on the location and other specific status based upon either remote community areas or towns. Besides, there are many entertainment places so they forget to think about marriage; it means that they do not want to have strings.

Chinese Sea Issues Need the ASEAN Intervention
The controversy over the issue of the South Chinese Sea has come after days of starting of ASEAN ministerial meeting, by implying between Philippines and China.
The Minister of China had delivered to warn the conflict-linked nations in Southeast Asia that not to seek for any third party to interfere in this conflict; otherwise it may lead to a confrontation. A warning of the Foreign Minister came just several days amid the event of co-military maneuvers holding between Philippines and America near archipelago. China still continue to warn Philippines through its editorial which has issued in the news column —said that if Philippines still make trouble with China so it will attack back inevitably. Responded to this editorial, the foreign minister of Philippines has lashed out and described as it was lacking of accountability and had alleged that China has been using armed forces to threaten to other countries. The foreign minister of Philippines specified that the Chinese sea conflict must be a priority case for the ASEAN meeting agenda to tackle properly. Brunei is also a nation which involved in this Chinese south sea conflict. Keep in mind that there are 4 countries among ASEAN country, Philippines is one who always shows aggressive voice against China.
Actually, there are two nations which always stand out to protest out of those conflict-linked nations, Vietnam and Philippines. Vietnam used to have bitter experiences about the armed forces clash in the past in light of claiming the island located in the Chinese south sea. In this battlefield, Vietnam was heavily hit by China. That is why all the time; Vietnam stands out to face carefully. Philippines is always prominent in protesting against China by relying on the U.S.A back up because the Obama’s administration issued a foreign policy to prioritize the Asia regions within increasing of more U.S navy deployment. Then, Philippines often demand U.S.A to have intervention in the confrontation between China and Philippines. There also had co-military maneuvers movement of Philippines-America around the contentious island in order to show its muscles to China.
In generally, all measures and steps of Philippines in a confrontation with China are indicating a pivoting on America. Observers estimate that somehow and someday the spreading of conflict would be escalating and erupts as war, they are not sure that America will come into to fight against China to assist Philippines.
In international relation, they always have got slogan said that “There is no friend but only interests” The interests of America is hundreds of billions dollars in business to China. That is not clear whether America will help Philippines to fight and occupy a small island.

The Eco-tourism community is just a kind of contribution to the tourism sector so that to assist the local community’s livelihood improvement. The own local community members are who map out the goals of tourism and management for tourism as well.
The tourism industry is sold and designated by the private company. That is why some incomes do not enter into the community; there are a handful of individuals who take benefit from such enterprise set. In contrast, community tourism was administered by the members of the community. All processes of a decision must be made by community people discussion and the community receives the income directly.
Positive benefits are sharing of profit among community members, community participation, managed by local people for empowerment and conservation of the natural resources.

Democracy Status in the Southeast Asia
It is indeed, on which other countries in the Southeast Asia had made steps toward democracy in this decade. Though, such fledgling democracy is so fragile and always encounters issues like political, national, economic and security crisis.
The political crisis always happens whenever the citizens start to be on strike against their elected leaders who vitally play role as head of the state or government. Logically, the citizens turned to stop supporting those whom they always voted for. This is because those elected leaders are committing corruption, or rule the nation as authoritarianism.
This kind of crisis happened in the Philippines in 2001, for instance. By the time, President Joseph Estrada was alleged for embezzling of national budget then he was forced to step down. After that, Ms Gloria Arroyo was appointed to takeover of power and took a lead from her predecessor. This similarity came over Malaysia during a tenure of President Wahid who has been affiliated with corruption then he lost his power.
Other crisis of the fledgling (Still young) democracy located in the Southeast Asia is social economic issue. Any way, it was luckily which the ASEAN economic crisis had not hit such young democracy since 1997. However, the poverty and sorrows of people mostly for example in the Philippines or Cambodia may erode democracy.
These countries are lacking of touchstone for democracy, the initiative for economic growth so that to enable a nation getting well off or rich not only for the handy of the rich and powerful men.
Besides, the national security is also harmful to the fledgling democracy in the ASEAN. It refers to terrorism which always happen at the Southern Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia and neighboring-country border war or civil war (Even Asia is the so-called quiet place) for example a series of fire exchange clash between the Thai and Khmer military around the Preah Vihear castle compound in late 2008 to 2011.
So today the democracy of Asia is still on a rough road because of some leaders deny accepting the democratic principles in favor of the Western for a process of implementation of democracy.
The Asian nations have different traditions from the Western ones. The Western makes value on individual freedom and vacation, as of the Asian value is focused on family, social order, power and job. So they have trends in Asian principles rather than democratic ones.
Another point [on which we should never forget] rock a democracy in Asia is the prominent standing out of China’s Communist regionally and internationally.
Finally, the ASEAN nations still use coup d’état paramilitary like Thailand.
Therefore they must try the best for improving of economic growth and reform other above-mentioned points for the move of democratic optimism.

The Natural Resources in Mekong are at Risk
The Mekong river always provides water for the community people to cultivate on millions of hectares of land and it is also yielding inputs of more than 3 million tons of fish. But the natural resources are suffering under the threat of building water dams for hydroelectricity taking advantage. The question is whether they could keep developing hydroelectricity or they persist to conserve the existing natural resources.
Building the hydroelectricity dams along the Mekong and its basin are still processing but those who work for environmental conservation just make a voice then prevail nothing against dam development.
The Mekong is originated in China which is the only river in the world that has been building many hydro electricity dams. Obviously, today one Chinese province has built completely water dams for electricity process in their projects. Besides, other nations located at the Greater Mekong sub-region like Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand have been submitting proposals to develop many more dams.
Developing dam projects have been implemented for years ago but the most pressing concerns for the environmental conservatives as of today are that they start to construct the dams inside of the river basin directly. Previously, they had constructed them on the affluent of a river/ tributary only. It is good to construct the dams but it is harmful to the natural resources in the Mekong basin as well.
The experts say that the benefits from the construction of dams are electricity. It is the foundation for the economic development of the poor countries alongside the river. However, it will change the water regime, and sometimes it is a detriment to the river. Obviously, the community people had alleged the plan of hydroelectricity dam construction in China is causing the lower Mekong to became even increasingly shallow.
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) which consists of a variety of members from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand also issued a report in their meeting to specify the harmfulness to natural resources and hydroelectricity development projects. The report entailed that there have 60 million populations are living around the Sub-region of the Mekong river basically rely on this river resources. Agriculture serves as a major sector based in the sub-region of the Mekong due to around 10 million hectares of land were used for rice-producing.
There are also over 3 million tons of annual aquarium inputs in the river including natural fishing and rearing. The Mekong serves as crucial navigation for human and goods exchange. Over 3 hundred thousand tons of goods were transported through ships from China, and Thailand back and forth.
The Wildlife NGO has explained the impact of dam construction could threaten many species of exotic mega fish, for example, a Giant Catfish in the river are at risk and being endangered if the construction development plan goes on. The reasons for those fish endanger, they could not swim across the huge barriers of the dams into the fish-spawning habitats at the upper Mekong streams.
These species of mega fish are the biggest ones among the 10 biggest species in the world. According to the MRC estimation indicated that the river could create potentials of hydroelectricity of 30 thousand Megawatts.
In conclusion, it is the proper time for both parties of those who love to conserve the environment bio-diversities and those who construct the water dams sitting down in the round table to discuss and identify specifically whether how much the benefits from the development of dams and environment effect so that we are able to resolve any issues related to the river taking advantage.

A Series of Burmese’s Reform Plan To Increase Economic Growth
As a matter of fact, Burma has its potentials to increase the gross domestic product up to hundreds of million of Dollars in the future should the government continues to carry out its reform. This is according to the study of the advisory company on economy and talented businessmen. Referring to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also revealed that the reform of the current Burma’s leader is beefing up the existing economic growth.
Presently, Burma is the most poor nation in the Asia within gross domestic product around 52 billion Dollars indicated in 2012 and the there are 60 million populations. For some decades ago, under the martial-ruling regime, the Burmese economy was stagnant and rattled by corruption, incapable of economic leadership and suffers by sanctions from the international communities.
Nevertheless, the experts and economists around the world oversee that Burma is a nation which exists substantial economic potentials and social security. And based on the assumption of the economic advisory company’s study indicates that Burma’s economic potentials are able to boost Burma the increasing of its gross domestic product, it is worth hundreds of million of Dollar over 15 or 18 years ahead.
The estimation of the economic growth could be reach to that figure exactly if the government still continues such reform. Besides the rich natural resources, Burma also has a favorable geography which located in between China, India and other Asian countries which covered high potentials in economy. In addition on natural resources and its existing strengths, Burma is able to increase the economic potentials through human resources development like improved education system, boost for research study and adapt the new technologies, better healthcare, bank service improvement, and business services.
The experts also recommended that Burma should pay more attention on technology development and update the traditional agriculture toward modern agriculture.
We see that the major gross domestic product of Burma is coming from agriculture and make worth billions of Dollars. A study reveals that the Burmese’s economy which is a leading sector could increase the gross domestic product is worth about dozens of million Dollars every year.
However, in order to reach this goal it is required that Burma needs the investment basically from abroad. Likewise, Burmese government has to ensure the foreign investors in keeping the current such reform and dealing with local issues including racial and religious conflicts so that to convince stability for international communities and foreign investors.
Currently, under the ruling of Burmese leader, Burma was reformed of politics and economy and being removed from economical sanctions from the international communities. That is why there are now western companies start to enter Burmese commercial running because Burma is the rich natural potentials nation in Asia block for example natural gas fundamentally.
The good results from its reform based on good governance, it can generates income from the tax collection and use this income to serve many public service sectors like healthcare or education and so on…this is a good start-up for its long term development in the society.

The Review of Accomplishment Meeting of NGOs and Government
Every year the representatives of the development partners and representatives of the government in developing countries hold the bilateral meeting. It is the best time for both to review the outcomes which have been achieved and development oversight in the future. We would like to get know what the outcomes from operation in the past and challenges are. The representatives of donor or development partners and the government always have this meeting to talk about new donations and grants for a series of community development. Before the meeting takes place the civil society organizations and other international organizations also evaluated the accomplishment of the government.
There are sweeping documents of the non-governmental organizations which wrote to recognize the progressive achievement of the government and development partners for times ago.
In the report says that the non-governmental organizations acknowledge that there has been made progress toward prosperity including public service, improvement of education, healthcare sectors and public dissemination of the national budget piece of information.
Although the civil society organizations (CSOs) recognize this government’s progress there are still some shortcomings in the government’s the performance raised by the NGOs. They are:
A-the civil society organizations would like to refer the corruption law even this law was enacted by the national assembly and was promulgated. But the aspects of this law seems does not respond to the international standard yet, that is why they wish to have some amendments to some articles related to protection for the whistleblowers and ensuring of anti-corruption unit’s independence.
B-issues related to land management including land title, land conflict, land grabbing, and economic concessional land. The CSOs have also raised about the fisheries community’s concerns during the meeting because of drastically decreasing of a quantity of fish.
Furthermore, the NGOs team had expressed concerns about the process of implementation of the government’s project related to the economic land concessionaires, hydro-electrical plants, and other mining processing plants. In the wake of those operation projects effect to the biodiversity, environment if being undergone without thorough study. The CSOs demand that the government should disclose the genuine figure of national revenue from the gas and ore extraction and exploitation in terms of transparency to the public. They just aware of ore processing in some places in the country but the actual quantity has been produced and revenue from were not revealed. Still, the CSOs raised the concerns of violence against women and children in the community, sexual harassment and human trafficking which demands the government to take strictly measure and effectively.
The CSOs raised all of these concerns because they would like to bring more attention from donors before they make a decision of grant delivery to assist the developing country. In other words to let donors use their influence to enable the government to have effective resolution toward concerns raised. CSOs also wish to see the commitment and dedication of the government in order to address issues whenever they receive donations.
However, donors annually donate billions of dollars to support the development project in a developing country.

But the aspects of this law seems does not respond to the international standard yet, that is why they wish to have some amendments to some articles related to protection for the whistleblowers and ensuring of anti-corruption unit’s independence.
B-issues related to land management including land title, land conflict, land grabbing, and economic concessional land. The CSOs have also raised about the fisheries community’s concerns during the meeting because of drastically decreasing of a quantity of fish.
Furthermore, the NGOs team had expressed concerns about the process of implementation of the government’s project related to the economic land concessionaires, hydro-electrical plants, and other mining processing plants. In the wake of those operation projects effect to the biodiversity, environment if being undergone without thorough study. The CSOs demand that the government should disclose the genuine figure of national revenue from the gas and ore extraction and exploitation in terms of transparency to the public. They just aware of ore processing in some places in the country but the actual quantity has been produced and revenue from were not revealed. Still, the CSOs raised the concerns of violence against women and children in the community, sexual harassment and human trafficking which demands the government to take strictly measure and effectively.
The CSOs raised all of these concerns because they would like to bring more attention from donors before they make a decision of grant delivery to assist the developing country. In other words to let donors use their influence to enable the government to have effective resolution toward concerns raised. CSOs also wish to see the commitment and dedication of the government in order to address issues whenever they receive donations.
However, donors annually donate billions of dollars to support the development project in a developing country.
Healthcare Management Sector Should Be Improved for People’s Trust
Cambodia where the healthcare service for the community people today is the challenge among other pressing challenges which is harmful to the society. They may notice that while the community people get sick, especially most of the poor people who have not the ability to afford hospital treatment fees are always facing the big problems relevant to healthcare service delivery as well as the right to health service. Those problems include fee for treatment is very expensive; the quality of medical treatment is not effective. Besides, some other nurses look for their individual benefits much more than caring for the human’s life, they forget the nursing professional morality and virtue because of money obsessing. That is the most dangerous for those who are poor and do not have the ability to afford their treatment fee in the community.
In contrast, the people who have the ability for nursing payment travel or take their relatives’ patient to the hospital in abroad in the Asian region like Singapore or Thailand where they trust in nursing service quality rather than nursing practices in the country. This frequent trend reveals the loss of trust of people on domestic healthcare services.
However, the poor community people find healthcare services at the health centers or state’s hospitals and sometimes private clinics. The problems of current healthcare for people in the region are bad service delivery and the price of service is expensive, plus degrading of the morality of nurses or doctors including pharmaceutical marketing are messing up in a country. Furthermore, the skills of doctors or nurses are still limited and the management of the Ministry of Health is not better yet.
Doctors less pay attention in nursing of the patients, they prefer to take care of money only. That is why sometimes, they do marketing in a type of treatment competition. For example the doctors or nurses combined medicine together for children so that would not allow clients are able to remember what types of medicine are. The doctors suggested the patients get an injection of serum for gaining extra money or getting under the knife (operation) even the patients have not met the requirement of operation condition yet. There are still more private clinics opening without a legal brand name or license so the patients can go to meet doctors by phone-calling for an appointment.
Whenever there has incident happens they resort to send a patient to the emergent rescue unit by demanding money through using of ambulance. For some drug stores or pharmacies were run by without legal license or without genuine nurses selling of medicines for clients. It means that common people can go to buy the medicine at any time and anywhere as they wish without specific medical description. Still, the medical products were promoted freely in the market throughout a country without very strict supervision from the Health Department.
Though, we respect for those doctors or nurses who cling to the nursing morals and endeavor to save the lives of patients. We wish the Ministry of Health to take measurements of the proper management of healthcare services; otherwise, it will be a high detriment to the community people’s quality of life.
Thus, it is critical to enhance the quality of healthcare and morality of nurses, particularly facilitation of treatment fee should be cheaper than ever.
In conclusion, the healthcare services MUST be immediately improved so that to take proactive approach to serving for the benefit of public health.

Project Plan to Prevent and End Women Violence
Women violence is still alarming and harrowing problems in the society of the developing countries. So now it is the initiative of the women-based working organizations in order to contribute to the prevention of violence against women or children in the community. It is a study to show us the approaches for addressing issues of the women as well as the prevention of any violence against them which in consistent with the government’s strategy. As we know that there are many types of violence including physically, psychologically, economic and sexual abuses. And this violence always occurs to women based in the community. The women in the rural areas are always the victims by suffering the domestic violence due to sometimes they do not understand well about their rights which stipulated in the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which has been protected by all means of both international law and state’s law. Another thing, the women misunderstand that domestic violence is normal in the family. In other words, while they suffer violence from husband they did not go to find any assistance from the local authorities and relevant institutions for legal assistance and other services or it maybe they think that it is a personal conflict in the family. But sometimes, because there is no service for help related to domestic violence in their rural areas.
Most women are experiencing not only violence but also face poverty or disability, low education, do the chore, taking care of children, access to information related to the women's health and so on. That is why we require having an intervention to prevent and end-all of forms against women as well as to reach the plan’s response to the Millennium Development Goal (MDG).
The project on participation to prevent violence based in the community shall engender community development workers and other women NGOs receiving knowledge on how information technology and responsiveness toward women violence in the community contributions. In fact, accessing information is an integral part of reducing or ending the women violence, particularly it is called the use of Information, Communication, and Technology for Development (ICT4D).
The project also focused on the collection of data and analysis through the research by review over the government’s accountability and mechanism to end all forms of women based violence.
A capacity building for the commune councils and women’s right organizations in using technology to access information entails in purpose of implementing the activities so that to annihilates the women violence in society. This operation shall reflect the participation of the beneficiaries and stakeholders in order to reach the accomplishment of the Millennium Development Goals. Thus, it requires working together within good collaborations between all key actors like the government, NGOs, relevant stakeholders, community, sub-national level to cope with women violence within high commitment and dedication for the community free of violence and the women are able to fully participate in social, economical, and cultural development process too.
Realizing the people and increase the awareness-raising to the public about the occurrence of women violence are the type of partaking in addressing the issues, for example, some of the rural community people do not understand that the violence on women is a crime and would be punishable according to the regional law on suppression on the women violence and human trafficking. All actors must endeavor to promote and mainstream women's rights globally.

Development Projects Would Not Sustain If Only Rely On Donation
The current developing country needs international donation/assistance to process any operation of the project. Of course, the donation is inevitable for those whose nation has just emerged from the devastation like Cambodia. However, waiting for expressly depend on the donation, there is no self-reliance for the sustainability of the development plan at all. As if the donors phase out so most of the development projects seem to paralyze the process. It means that a beneficiary country that is responsible for various fields more apparently absorbs those potentials from donations to enhance its capacity, otherwise it would be a danger for a development project which benefits to the beneficiaries and they should be alert to change concept.
They receive donations including fund and technical assistance. These donations are very active in contributing to restore the nation from mass destruction.
Generally, the presidents of the respective departments always seek more and more donations or fundraising so that to kick off the implementation of a development project in their department or community lines. It is good to try to seek donors to support community development projects. However, some government officials never satisfy with the technical donation/assistance if those donors do not involve in the budget too. Normally and culturally, they would need extra individual interests from the development projects rather than public interests.
Besides, although they got a donation for years whenever the donor's phase-out those development projects shall paralyze their process, therefore everything would not sustain. That is because of the donation-interdependence concept and project implementers never learn from donors. Another thing, the officials in the ministries or institutions did not strive their best ability ahead of depending on donation or assistance. By contrast, they just look to wait for donations only by doing nothing. For example, the only education video clips for dissemination and public awareness to the people could be undergone unless there are sponsors or donors, otherwise, they are not able to produce this video clip.
We acknowledge that the donation including budget and technical assistance are crucial for the poor community nation. Therefore, in order to use effectively those donations and targeting, they have to
A-Harness it and in a cost-effective manner
B-Maximize taking benefit from project operation for human resources capacity building so that guarantee the sustainability of the development project whenever the donor's phase-out. They have to learn to survive by themselves not just rely on donations forever.
Other developing countries in the region feel happy to grant any kind of humanitarian technical assistance from the international non-governmental organizations or any state’s government even it is not a kind of budget (cash). In the donation, they also take notice that there have been happening of cheating for their own benefits rather than public benefits. If they do not gain their own benefits those who receive a donation rarely interested in assistance or donation. That is why some donors feel frustration with their kindness and it has also been hindering the community development process.
Therefore, in order to accelerate the developments, both people and officials have to change their behaviors necessarily, for instance, get rid of concept which depends on a donation, in return they must be self-reliant of mindset much more than ever if possible. Furthermore, they must be smart in using donations or assistance effectively to benefit both physical infrastructure and the development of human resources.
It is crucial for donation but the assistance of human resources capacity development is increasingly more important. Nevertheless, if you strongly rely on donation or assistance, it would be harmful to the community beneficiary concerning to development plan.

Community Economic Growth vs.Child Nutrition and Labor Force
The developing countries in Southeast Asia from years to years always gain the economic growth but these poor countries still confront other pressing issues like lacking of labor forces, malnutrition for children and inequality between the poor in the rural community and the rich.
Pursuant to the report of Asia Development Bank or World Bank disclosed that those countries could raise the economic growth from 6 or 7 percent for this year and probably in tandem with another year.
The economic growth relies on various sectors of agriculture, tourism and textile industry in which have just recovered following the economic crisis years ago.
Though, they feel appreciate on the economic growth from one year to another, they still confront the issues. In the same time of enjoying of economic growth, there have bad healthcare services,insufficient healthy meals and chronicle malnutrition which makes children around 30 or 40 percent not able to grow up fully and naturally. Without any intervention on the nutrition for children it consequently effects to the productivity and economic raise in the future definitely. It would not be restored for the retardation and development of children for the long-run stricken impacts.
The economists also expressed their concerns amid the economic growth that the outcomes originate from economy were not equally shared to the community people. In other words, the rich people increasingly overwhelmingly gain resources as if the common people in the community were barely.
That is why the experts always draw attention from the governments and donors to mull the measures over the reduction of gaps between the rich and the poor in being minimal. Otherwise, they had warned that while the gaps between the poor and the rich is getting worst so the big problems would happen in the society including security and unrest.
On the other hands, in the meantime they gain economic growth but they also face lacking of large amount of labor forces for the fields of construction, agriculture, sewing and so on.
It is probably in light of massive migration. And such migration is due to worst poverty and another reason because the revenue of the other countries in the region is higher than their local community income. Furthermore, there are many brokers go to the rural areas to persuade and trick local villagers for selling their labor in abroad. The bad structure of job placement service for job hunters and some kinds of domestic jobs are not covered by labor law for example, there is no specific basic salary and there have neither guarantees nor insurances of job conditions.
Conclusion, the economists mentioned that lacking of labor forces, malnutrition for the children and inequality in sharing of economic growth outcome may drastically impact the backlash to the national economic growth down the road. In other words, the national economy health could not survive strongly if the nation lacks of labor forces to produce productivity and the labor forces are ill.

Look at the Gaps between the Urban and the Rural
The gaps between the town people and rural people are still living at the serious level. The figure shows that among fewer than ten million people of the poor in a developing country in Southeast Asia are nearly 80 percents live in the rural areas. Therefore, what is community plan which we are able to address to narrow this gap for equality?
In the last decade, the developing countries in Asia prevails substantial economic growth. However, they are facing the pressing challenges.
Keep in mind that from years to years, the rate of poverty decreases gradually, though there are some rates of people who are living in the poverty line. They are mostly live around in the low land.
The poverty not only pertains to the revenue generating but also linked to the access to services delivery of healthcare, education, infrastructure and other family services. Generally, the state’s plan significantly achieved services which have been provided to the local people but the gaps for them to access to services are still limited broader, particularly for those who live in the rural areas.
Because of such big gap between the townspeople and rural people, the development plan was designed and map out about vision of the community development. It could be a tool to identify whether some places take benefits from development projects but other not and how we address to make development for those targets.
They could also map out of some potential areas in a process of development plan. And the rural natural resources using must be transparent and sustainable so it would be either effective way to alleviate the poverty in the regions.
The development experts notice that most of project implementation or development plan to develop community is launched target at the downtown. For example, there are many factories located in the town or at the outskirts. We never ever see that those factories are based at the rural areas. This reveals us that such reality is one of factors that increasingly push broader gaps of rural people’s poverty.
Besides, the poor could not escape from their own poverty in light of limited access to the services delivery. For instance, the poor must pay for higher electricity price and other prices— because of the transportation means for supplies. It encompasses exist poverty, attached the high expenditure compare to very low generating of income. This would plunge rural people into the abyss of poverty death.
So, in order to alleviate the expenditure as well as narrow the gaps of services delivery access for both the town and rural people, the government should:
1-Increase of the public investment on any project turned to the rural areas.
2-Harness and mobilize the natural resources or potentials availability effectively.
3-To motivate and encourage for those companies who located in the rural regions.
4-Improve the infrastructure system like school, health center, road, bridge etc.
5-Provide the vocational training or job orientation for the local villagers.
If successful, then the development plan for community is able to help the better of livelihood of local villagers and they would never travel toward to the town.

Water Source is the Life of Rural Community People
Without water they are not able to develop any things for community because most of people live in rural area are farmers. Whenever the drought came during the dry season, the rural people in community could not cultivate for improving their better condition of living because they grow rice and other assorted vegetables only depend on the rain-fed. This point is sensitive to cause migration of rural villagers. That is why we would say that to develop and construct irrigation system for the community tantamount to provide farmers breath-air then we can minimize the migration as well.
Should we take a glimpse of the dry season at the rural areas, we start to starkly understand the scarcity of community people who are living rely on water desperately. Some remarkably celebrate Water Day to raise awareness of water charity and green management.
Meanwhile other countries rely on the agriculture but the rural areas were stricken by drought. How the farmers could improve their quality of life.
Lacking of water resources is the pressing problem for rural development. We can take a look at the landscape of rural locations on which we rarely view the green land then we might notice of differences between rural land in some countries if compare to other countries in the same region of Asia.
Few countries in Southeast Asia are able to actively cultivate both in dry season and rainy season. Farmers grow rice and vegetable only in rainy season but they are suffered of drought, people worry about water scarcity. However, sometimes they may face the flood irregularly. Climate change is exerting the pressure to the detriment to farmers' cultivation due to they do farming depend on rain-fed.
They lack of water not only for farming but also lacking of it for daily use. Furthermore, the infrastructure to bridge between communities to towns is not enough for example; school, hospital, road, bridge and electricity. As of industry field is mostly based in the towns which leads to migration of local people to move toward there.
Even the policy of government recognizes that water is the priority in its ruling so the government should sophisticate water guideline to afford water sources to be available for the rural areas including both dry season and rainy season and has the preparedness for disaster like adaption to climate change program to help farmers.
It is important to attract the main companies to invest in agriculture but more importantly is effective water resources management. Some areas have plenty of water for use during the rainy season with flood as well. Shortly after that, the rice paddy became lacking of water due to drought. This shows that local authorities do not have skill of effective water management.
In conclusion, water investment sector is the foundation of rural community development emphasized on agriculture due to most of the people are farmers.
To enable the rural areas covered by evergreen view for both seasons including rainy and dry seasons because the farmers have enough size of land plots for cultivation. So they are able to improve the quality of life and live in a better of livelihood. That is what we could alleviate the poverty of people in the rural areas.

Impediment for ASEAN Community Integration
The ambition to create the ASEAN economic community 2015 is a crucial theme for Asia leaders to take into account and trigger dialogue. It seems likely in a long distance to achieve the ASEAN community because there are many harrowing problems and pressing challenges.
The desperate need of the Asia leaders is beefing up to enabling ASEAN community shall become the ASEAN economic community in the near future in favor of EU, in terms of integration of the open flows of economy from one country to another freely. The benefits of the 10 countries not only freely circulate goods on grounds for ASEAN territory but also capital, population, labor force circulations.
However, we wait to see whether the intention for ASEAN community integration should be successful. However, it is hard to be possible to make dream become truth, and if ASEAN community integration exactly succeeds that is still not fair for taking benefits of the poor countries like Cambodia or LAOS PDR.
Nevertheless, the barriers for ASEAN community confront are nation’s internal problem. Related to infrastructure like rail, road and international airways shall broadly engender feasibility of circulation of people, capital, and goods in the ASEAN framework.
Besides, the mindset of people in the nation whether they consent to allow other nationals to trespass their respective land freely. Unless the ASEAN people have the long-term oversight beyond their boundary and nationalism in order to encompass the regional interest.
Still, the ASEAN integration will face other barriers like EU including the gaps of economy and overwhelm different politics between the 10 countries. For example the average of annual income for Singaporean about 40,000 USD compare to the destitute LAOS living standard. Compare between the military-ruled Burma regime and Vietnamese Communist to the Indonesian Democracy and Singaporean Advanced and Bright Authoritarian. Because of these gaps of economy and politics, it may leads to paralyze the communication in both ASEAN community and other main nations.
All of these barriers and issues engender the observers never have optimism that the ASEAN economic community integration will be materialized by 2015. What do you think about the ASEAN economic community integration?

However, it is hard to be possible to make dream become truth, and if ASEAN community integration exactly succeeds that is still not fair for taking benefits of the poor countries like Cambodia or LAOS PDR.
Nevertheless, the barriers for ASEAN community confront are nation’s internal problem. Related to infrastructure like rail, road and international airways shall broadly engender feasibility of circulation of people, capital, and goods in the ASEAN framework.
Besides, the mindset of people in the nation whether they consent to allow other nationals to trespass their respective land freely. Unless the ASEAN people have the long-term oversight beyond their boundary and nationalism in order to encompass the regional interest.
Still, the ASEAN integration will face other barriers like EU including the gaps of economy and overwhelm different politics between the 10 countries. For example the average of annual income for Singaporean about 40,000 USD compare to the destitute LAOS living standard. Compare between the military-ruled Burma regime and Vietnamese Communist to the Indonesian Democracy and Singaporean Advanced and Bright Authoritarian. Because of these gaps of economy and politics, it may leads to paralyze the communication in both ASEAN community and other main nations.
All of these barriers and issues engender the observers never have optimism that the ASEAN economic community integration will be materialized by 2015. What do you think about the ASEAN economic community integration?

Project Cycle Management Model of NGO
Each NGO(Non-Governmental Organization) always have their own strategic management to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of project cycle operation in terms of implementing to develop the local community and society. Of course, there is a variety of project cycle management model according to the NGOs which implement the development project effectively. So if you used to work with many NGOs you will see that there is more paper to design a project cycle. Generally, it has four stages in project cycle management including identification and assessment, selection and preparation, planning and Operating and monitoring and evaluation. Now, we take a look at the model of project cycle management together:
1-Programming
It is a creation of policy and other conditions aiming at collaboration and agreement in consistent with the respective departments. For example: defining a target area and critical issues. Determining of the project’s goal. Assess the project (participatory approach). Developing of the optional resolution.
2-Identification
Refer to the performance program, issue, need and stakeholders’ benefit whose they are able to analyze; an initiative to design the project and other activities in order to identify the priority. For the expectation, therefore it is a decision on whether or not it is a selection for development. We need to learn it more detail. For example Identification of strategic planning or project.
3-Appraisal
This featured the aspect of concepts for learning in order to disclose transparency to the relevant stakeholders so that they could recall of issue, feasibility learning, and other things. The outcome from a performance management and other activities are preparation and requirement of calculation of input for operating. Expected outcome is our decision on whether we want it or not. Some NGOs, in terms of the cycle of a project in this step, is a process for description in order to design a project.
4-Financing
Decide to seek for concerned partners and stakeholders. In this process, some project cycles are processed for negotiation or approval of the budget allocation and it entails participation from both project implementer and project stakeholders.
5-Implementation
It is an approval over resources which are mobilized for and they were taken from planning, and action to achieve the goal. Any progression of project based upon monitoring in order to even change something based on the specific circumstance. Finally, they will make a decision on the project (evaluation) whether it should be or not continuing project operation. For example of action planning, budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation of the project.
6-Evaluation
Assessment of project which we have achieved and the impact of project related to the overall goal including effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the project. These results bring to a decision whether to stop or continue project implementation.
Throughout the steps of project cycle has been mentioned above to ensure the target groups for:
1-Thinking of what they have to try to do
2-Spending time and try effort to implement action effectively
3-Making sure that any progress is monitored
4-Taking measure to correct problem during the project implementation.

Even though the developing countries have been making progress emphasized on the promoting of women’s rights but the community disadvantage women are still hard to make possibly to participate in the politics. The barriers which block their playing field in the political participation are cultural and social norms, old-fashion traditional mindset, lacking of support from friends or peers and family, chance is not enough for them to get higher education and training, poor knowledge related to politics and their confidence.
Less local women can access to information and more importantly is that the women do not understand well of their rights in regards of accessibility to information if compared to men. The ways in which provide pieces of information to the community are through radio, television, newspaper, mobile phone, telegram, personal meeting and other web-based media like Facebook and Website. It is inevitable for people must get access to information for their useful concepts and for life decision due to it is relevant to social transparency for example the national budget plan and expenditure or natural resources sharing which have to be visible to the public in order to reduce corruption.
