Announcement Description

1. Background

1.1 About CAPRED

The CAPRED Facility is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia, focusing on economic recovery and resilience over the next five years, with a possible three-year extension. The Facility supports Cambodia in implementing a range of necessary economic interventions and reforms to maintain the country's economic transition. These interventions and reforms aim to encourage more productive and inclusive public and private investment, promoting a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy (RISE).

CAPRED interventions fall under three technical components including: Agriculture and Agro-processing; Trade, Investment and Enterprise Development and Infrastructure Development; and three cross-cutting components comprising: Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI); Climate Resilient initiatives, and policy support.

1.2 About the SCADA Technology Demonstration

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.
