Fisheries Action Coalition Team (FACT) is a NGOs coalition established in 2000 by a group of NGO members working on the fisheries and environmental issues around the Tonle Sap Lake. It was established as part of the environment project of the NGO Forum on Cambodia. At that time, a group of NGO interested in the fishery issues formed a sub-working group and then was supporting by different international NGOs such as Oxfam, NGO Forum on Cambodia, and Environmental Justice Foundation. The group of eight NGOs later decided to form the Fishery Action Coalition Team separately from the NGO Forum on Cambodia following the reform in fishery sector of Cambodia. Its active members are all Cambodian NGO staff committed to do advocacy in fisheries and monitor that policy reforms.

Primarily, main focus of FACT’s program is mobilizing local and grassroots based organizations to do more effective advocacy programs responding to the development policies and programs of the government on the issues that affect Cambodian communities livelihoods. Presently, FACT continues to help local people liaise with the government institutions through providing a forum where local people can meet and express their opinion to the government, meet donors and mass media. At the same time, FACT involves in research and gathering information on fisheries issues, fact-findings, information and data analysis, and distributes it for influencing decision and policy makers.
