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.
CAPRED has a unique approach to policy reform. It works directly with the private sector, providing co-investment, technical assistance and market insights. Using information collected from the facility’s portfolio of investments, the program is designed to support policy reform that is based on real-time, practical market insights. It engages with the Cambodia Government and other stakeholders to create platforms for inclusive dialogue between the public and private sector and support evidence-based policy making. This work is driven and coordinated by the Policy Hub.
Postition Summary
