About
CAPRED works to ensure that all Cambodians benefit equitably from economic growth and development.
The program focuses on supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia’s goals for inclusive economic growth, resilience, and sustainability over a five-year period (2022 to 2027).
CAPRED aims to bring social and economic benefits to all Cambodians by improving enabling policies and financial incentives for investment in water and energy infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on supporting women-led enterprises and marginalized groups. It promotes investment in high value-added agriculture and addresses emerging climate change threats to protect the environment for future generations.
CAPRED scales its interventions to achieve transformative outcomes by using knowledge and evidence strategically, adapting to changing conditions, taking calculated risks, and building lasting partnerships. Gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) are core principles integrated throughout the program, along with a strong focus on climate resilience.
The transformations CAPRED aims for describe the expected results if all activities proceed as planned. The program’s vision is optimistic yet realistic, guiding all efforts.
The process includes:
CAPRED works closely with the Royal Government of Cambodia as well as development and private sector partners to build coalitions for change. It identifies market niches, remains flexible and nimble, provides additionality by filling gaps left by other partners, and often assumes risk to leverage other capital and procedures.
The program believes that genuine transformation must be inclusive and empowering, preparing future generations to adapt to and mitigate climate change risks.
