Recently Australia’s flagship economic development program, Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), organised a study visit for key Cambodian government agencies, and the Cambodia Water Supply Association to attend #ozwater23 to learn about Australia’s water management to support the environmental & economic resilience of the Mekong subregion.

Cleaned piped water provides nourishment, prevents diseases, is great for agriculture and food production and improves sanitation facilities. Access to clean water is essential for enabling women and girls to devote more time to the pursuit of education and income generation.

These are just some of the reasons Australia is supporting Cambodia’s clean piped water development.

Recently, key government agencies and the Cambodian Water Supply Association visited Australia as part of the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED). They visited Hunter Water, a public corporation responsible for clean, waste and recycled water in New South Wales.

Today is World Food Safety Day. A day which reminds us that good food standards save lives and support better food security, human health and sustainable development.

Australia is working with Cambodia to lift food safety production and standards through product research and development and legal frameworks.

So far, we have established guidelines for input labelling and package marking model for plant protection products (pesticides and nutrients) to produce food that is safe to eat. We have also helped set up a QR code system for farmers to access information on how to use inputs, verify product quality and avoid potentially harmful counterfeits.

Through our Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) program, we are working on regulations under the Law on Plant Protection and Quarantine, particularly the national standard on Maximum Residue Limits of pesticide residues.

No you’re not having deja-moo—you may recall back in 2020 that 550 Australian Holstein cows moo-ved to the green pastures of Takeo province in southern Cambodia and took up residence at Kirisu Farm in Bati district. These cows are now producing a remarkable 12,000–15,000 litres of fresh milk every day.

Australia has a long history of supporting the Cambodian agriculture industry. We helped Kirisu upgrade food safety standards and quality management systems in their factories, resulting in their FSSC 22000 certification. Now, you can see Kirisu products in Cambodian supermarkets next to imported brands.

Ambassador Whyatt visited Kirisu farm and tasted their delicious range of milk, yoghurt, and butter.

We continue our support to the development of Cambodia’s agri-food processing through our economic development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED).

Australia is a strong supporter of Cambodia’s clean, piped water infrastructure. We are working to support Cambodia to achieve universal access to clean water by 2030.

Ambassador Whyatt recently visited an Australia-supported water treatment plant and met with Mr. Chao Soeun, one of 80 piped water beneficiaries in Bati district’s Kandoeng commune, to see the progress in supplying clean, piped, treated water to the whole commune.

This piped water infrastructure has benefited almost 2,000 households, garment factories, schools, private clinics and health centres.

Women-led businesses and female entrepreneurs are central to Cambodia’s economic development. Yet women face many challenges and barriers to operate and grow their businesses due to gender stereotypes, prescribed gender roles and limited access to technology, finance, and professional networks.

Through the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), 14 Cambodian female entrepreneurs recently visited Australia to meet with business owners, senior government officials and women’s association leaders to exchange knowledge and build professional networks.

Australia is a long-time supporter of women’s economic empowerment and enterprise development in Cambodia. CAPRED is working to help achieve sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth in Cambodia. Gender equality, disability and social inclusion and climate resilience are integrated into all activities.
