Building adaptive capacity and resilience through improved water management in Cambodia

General

This programme will strengthen water resource management in 13 communities in Battambang and Siem Reap. Water assessments and community level awareness raising on processes impacting water access and quality within the community will be undertaken and community water management plans will be developed with technical support from water management specialists. The water and sanitation interventions and water management interventions contained within the plans will be prioritised and implemented with the support of the project. Women’s leadership on water governance at community level will be strengthened through ensuring that women leaders are actively participating at every stage of the water resource management planning process. The project will also aim to strengthen local authorities-CSO/NSA engagement on water resource management through ensuring their participation in the water resource management planning process and promoting the integration of community plans into local government development and land use planning.
