Australia helps bring clean water and safety to rural Cambodian women

Did you know? One in five Cambodian women aged 15 to 49 have experienced physical violence in their lifetime.
One contributing factor is the burden placed on women for unpaid care work, including the time-consuming and often dangerous task of collecting water for their families. Traveling long distances to fetch water can expose women to violence and leave them with less time for income-generating activities or education.

Over the past seven years, Australia has worked with the Cambodian Government and private sector to bring sustainable clean water to over 625,000 women out of 1.25 million rural Cambodians across the country.

But the work continues! Australia, through its flagship development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), is partnering with the government, private sector, and development partners to close the clean water access gap.

Watch this video to learn more about how Australia's clean water initiatives are impacting the lives of women in rural Cambodia. https://youtu.be/Ddr-oDdFUcc

Seven Reform Priorities to realise the 2030 Vision

Australia is pleased to support the Cambodia Development Resource Institute’s (CDRI) seven recommended reform priorities to implement the government’s Pentagonal Strategy and realise its 2030 Vision and beyond.

The reform priorities include promoting more inclusive and accountable institutions to deliver effective public services, strengthening the Social Protection System, modernising the agricultural sector, sustainably investing in Cambodia’s natural resources, continuing to upgrade and diversify the manufacturing sector, and investing in quality education, skills building, and digital infrastructure.

These reform priorities were generated from the Cambodia Outlook Conference held in Phnom Penh in November 2023 and are part of an on-going research study entitled “Cambodia Vision 2030: An Assessment of Cambodia’s Upper middle-income Target for Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth”. Australia is funding both the conference and the research study through its flagship economic development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED).

Supporting sustainable clean water supply in Cambodia

Australia through its flagship development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), is collaborating with the government, private water operators and development partners to increase access to climate resilient clean water supply for rural Cambodians.

People around Boeung Snae in Prey Veng province rely on its water for household use, farming, fishing and tourism. In recent years, the lake has come under increasing pressure from human activities and climate change, leading to water shortages for the community.

CAPRED has supported storage ponds and a water treatment facility to ensure an inclusive and sustainable clean water supply, while preserving the biodiversity in and around the Boeung Snae protected wetland area.

Australia supports Cambodia to propel gender equality and inclusion for small businesses

Gender equality, disability and social Inclusion (GEDSI) is central to Australia’s international development policies and support.

In Cambodia, over 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are owned by women. Yet, women face critical challenges, including limited access to finance and education, gender stereotypes and restricted mobility.

Australia through CAPRED supported the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation to develop its Gender Mainstreaming Action Plan 2023–2028.

Today, Australia and MISTI jointly launched and disseminated the plan to stakeholders and partners. It aims to eradicate barriers and enable Cambodian women, as well as people with disabilities and other marginalised groups, to equally participate in and benefit from economic growth.
