Australia has been a strong, consistent and strategic partner to Cambodia for more than 70 years in its journey from conflict to prosperity.
The Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is founded on Australia’s commitment to support the Royal Government of Cambodia’s market-oriented approach to inclusive economic development and pursue regional and global integration.
CAPRED is unique among development programs in Cambodia. We design and trial approaches, gather and evaluate evidence that they work, and develop policies to support their implementation. CAPRED aims to be a catalyst for sustainable transformation. To maximise impact, we focus on identifying ideas, technologies and innovations and scaling them to a national level.
Our primary goal is to help Cambodia achieve resilient, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development (RISE). Our vision is people centric. We do not just aim to raise incomes and create quality jobs; the changes we produce must benefit all, regardless of gender, ability, ethnicity or socio-economic status. Economic development must extend to marginalised people and those living in poverty and mitigate emerging climate change threats.
This document outlines the strategy for implementing the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) Facility, a five-year initiative (2022-2027) with a possible three-year extension.

There are also three cross-cutting themes that influence all our activities:
economic stability and prosperity over time and enables the absorption. of external shocks, including health, military, climate, and economic crisis and/or shifts in the regional/global architecture of power.
opportunity for all segments of the population and distributes the dividends, both in monetary and non- monetary terms, fairly across society.
delivers economic growth that protects the natural environment for future generations and successfully mitigates and/or adapts to the effects of climate change.
helps individuals and societies reach their full potential, but only in combination with the three principles above.

The Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is Australia’s flagship economic development program in Cambodia. CAPRED’s goal is to help Cambodia achieve resilient, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Australia through CAPRED works with stakeholders across the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), the private sector and development partners to achieve outcomes. In its second full year of implementation (1 July 2023-30 June 2024), CAPRED had significant successes across the cross-cutting themes (Policy Hub; Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI); and Climate Resilience) and technical domains (Agriculture and Agro-Processing; Trade, Investment and Enterprise Development; and Infrastructure Development).
This policy brief provides an overview of the Cambodian Government-Private Sector Forum (G-PSF), from its founding to the challenges and opportunities of the present day. It is the first in a planned series of policy briefs that delve into the G-PSF model. The G-PSF is a comprehensive public-private dialogue mechanism that comprises a plenary forum chaired by the Cambodian Prime Minister and technical working groups (WGs). Its primary function is to provide a platform through which government and industry can come together to discuss, debate and create solutions to regulatory or policy issues to promote economic growth.
Within a fast-moving international trade environment, Cambodia’s aspirations for growth, along with global shifts and trends, require a focus on constructive economic policies.
