…..
Promoting gender equality is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do.

That’s why it is at the centre of Australia’s support for Cambodia and why gender equality can help Cambodia achieve its economic and social goals.

For example: enterprises. Nearly 90% of all businesses in Cambodia are micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and over 60% of these are owned by women.

Removing barriers and unlocking their potential will drive economic growth. Australia is working with the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) to support MISTI’s Gender Mainstreaming Action Plan 2023-2028.

The Action Plan is a roadmap for advancing gender equality in MISTI and the private sector.
