Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is working with the Royal Government of Cambodia to establish an inclusive and resilient ecosystem for Cambodia's first Agri-food Industrial Park.

The Park creates stronger productivity, long-term economic growth, job creation, gender equality and inclusion in agri-food sector, and new export opportunities for Cambodian agribusiness. This will help Cambodia tackle the challenges of attracting businesses into agro-processing.

Over the past decade, Australia has helped over a million Cambodians to access clean, piped water in their homes for the first time. This is a huge step forward, especially for vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, including women and people with disabilities, supporting them to meet domestic needs and for many, to run small businesses.

Australia continues its water infrastructure services with CAPRED. Its overall goal is to help Cambodia achieve sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth. Gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience are incorporated into all CAPRED activities.

Did you know that almost 99% of rural villages in Cambodia are now connected to the main electricity grid?
Over the last decade, Australia has supported Cambodia to deliver sustainable and quality electricity infrastructure services across the country. We are now working together to connect the four villages, among other 1% final villages, across the Kampong Cham commune, Sambour districts, Kratie province.

We jointly visited Sambour district with the Ministry of Mines and Energy Cambodia, Electricity Authority of Cambodia αž’αžΆαž‡αŸ’αž‰αžΆαž’αžšαž’αž‚αŸ’αž‚αž·αžŸαž“αžΈαž€αž˜αŸ’αž–αž»αž‡αžΆ, and a private company to meet with local authorities and communities. They discussed the potential establishment of a solar farm to provide mini off-grid electricity to the four villages. The solar farm would provide 4,000 people in these four villages, with over 50% women and girls with affordable, reliable and plentiful supply of electricity.

Australia is supporting Cambodia’s Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation to establish a Water Development Fund to help Cambodia achieve its goal of providing universal access to safe, clean, and secure water to all Cambodians by 2030.

Through our new economic development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), Australia supported MISTI to bring together representatives from the Cambodian Water Supply Association, various ministries and development partners to help design the Fund. Discussions will help inform the draft of fund’s Sub-decree and Standard Operating Procedure, which are the key legal instruments for the establishment of the Water Development Fund.

CAPRED works across agriculture and infrastructure services with gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience integrated into all activities.

Australia’s concluded program supported Rural Electricity Enterprises (REE) on various projects across Cambodia to expand the electricity network to accelerate access to reliable electricity in rural areas. Through this initiative, over 140,000 rural Cambodians can enjoy the benefits of a reliable power supply, including new economic opportunities created in these areas.

The Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is Australia’s current development program. It aims to help Cambodia achieve sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth with gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience integrated into all activities. CAPRED is working with the Ministry of Mine and Energy and other stakeholders to connect Cambodia’s remaining 1% off-grid villages to sufficient electricity.

It’s officially here β€” Champei Sar 70!

After 9 years and 80 on-farm trials, Champei Sar 70 (CPS 70) is the result of a collaboration between the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and the Australian Government. CPS 70 was developed from award-winning Cambodian rice variety, Phka Rumduol and is named after Cambodia and Australia’s celebrating 70 years of diplomatic relations in 2022.

CPS 70 is non-seasonal and resistant to floods and drought. It can be harvested in just 3 months and grown 2-3 times a year, increasing production, processing and incomes.

Ambassador Whyatt and H.E. Dith Tina, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries kicked off the first harvest of CPS 70 at CARDI.
Developing and improving rice varieties is crucial to Cambodia’s economic and climate resilience. Australia is pleased to continue its support of the Cambodian agriculture sector through the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development.
