Technology adoption is a key priority in the clean water supply sector to enhance water operators' performance in terms of water quality and operational efficiency. The SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system is globally recognized as a crucial technology for this purpose, providing real-time monitoring and control over the entire water supply system. SCADA systems also enable water operators to manage multiple water utilities effectively.

While the SCADA system is widely adopted by large water utilities, it is less common among small and medium-sized water utilities. In this pilot project, CAPRED aims to test the viability of SCADA system adoption for small and medium-sized water utilities in Cambodia.

CAPRED seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm to survey large firms, including both local and foreign-owned large firms, on their linkages with Cambodian SMEs. The survey will determine whether forward and backward linkages exist (number of local SME suppliers), the extent of these linkages (share of total intermediate inputs/costs provided by local SMEs), and where they exist in the value chain. The survey also aims to uncover the constraints and challenges to broader and deeper linkages, and potential strategies and policies to promote and strengthen linkages.

CAPRED seeks to engage a consulting firm to conduct a Feasibility Study on a G-PSF MIS for the Monitoring and Evaluation of G-PSF. The objective of the feasibility study for the G-PSF Management Information System (MIS) is to comprehensively assess the technical, operational, financial, and organisational viability of developing an integrated MIS to enhance tracking, management, and reporting within the Government-Private Sector Forum (G-PSF). This study will ensure that the MIS supports the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) in executing effective government-private sector collaboration.
