About the Organization

Cambodia ‘s coastal fishing communities are amongst the most vulnerable, due largely to high dependence on natural resources, direct exposure to climate vectors (i.e. storms, sea level rise and changing rainfall), overall poverty, remoteness and marginalization. Women have even less adaptive options available to them, as traditionally they have less influence over the decision-making processes, including those related to climate adaptation. The project will build on baseline of existing policy, legal, and technical measures and investments and provide additional financing to generate effective adaptation models and establish support frameworks that empower vulnerable communities, as the anticipated challenges and costs to address them will increase with climate change.

The project will work towards the achievement of four interlinked components to contribute to the project objective:

  • Component 1: Strengthening policy coordination and capacity development for an adaptive enabling environment
  • Component 2: Sustainable Ecosystem Management for coastal resilience
  • Component 3: Fishing Community Adaptation Capacity strengthened
  • Component 4: Knowledge Management

The project is funded by Global Environmental Facility (GEF) with an amount of USD 4,350,000.00 covering 5 years period.
