International Expert on Three-Year Investment Promotion Strategy and Implementation Workplan
Announcement Description
Program Background
The CAPRED Facility is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia, focusing on economic recovery and resilience over the next four 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 are primarily aimed at encouraging more productive and inclusive public and private investment, which promotes 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 one Cross-Cutting component comprising: Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI); Climate Resilient initiatives, and policy support. GEDSI is at the heart of all that CAPRED does.
Context
The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) is committed to developing a Three-Year Investment Promotion Strategy and Implementation Workplan, hereinafter referred to as "the/this Strategy Document". This Strategy Document is expected to significantly contribute to strengthening the role of CDC as an Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) and an "Etat-Major" and One-Stop Service of the government responsible for overseeing and managing private investment and special economic zones, improving investment climate - and ultimately the implementation of the Royal Government of Cambodia's (RGC) Pentagonal Strategy - Phase 1 (PS-1), particularly by enhancing economic diversification and competitiveness and Cambodia Industrial Development Policy 2015- 2025. To support the CDC's efforts in developing this Strategy Document, CAPRED has pledged its technical and financial assistance to the CDC. This collaboration has been formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), executed in April 2024 between the CDC and CAPRED.
