This research aims to (1) study the current state and needs of the community to enhance participation in Community Learning centres (CLCs) in Cambodia, and (2) consider the required coverage of guidelines to enhance community participation in CLCs. The research utilized a mixed-method design which conducted a survey with a sample of 28 CLC committee members and 197 community people using stratified random sampling. The quantitative data were analyzed through means ([X-bar]), standard deviation (SD), and Priority Need Index Modified (PNI[subscript modified]). The in-depth interviews and Likert-scale questionnaires have been conducted with experts to clarify and confirm the guidelines' item validity and feasibility. Overall, the practices of CLCs in enhancing community participation are at a moderate level, while the desirable needs of communities for participation in the CLCs in Cambodia are at a high level. This study suggests requirements for guidelines which will enhance community participation in CLCs in Cambodia comprising of vision, goals, and guidelines that aim to transform CLCs to become lifelong learning centres by 2030.
