In 2023, the Cambodian government released the National Energy Efficiency Policy (NEEP). One of the key strategies within NEEP is fostering the development of the Energy Service Company (ESCO) market. ESCOS offer a unique and attractive business model in which they guarantee a specific level of energy savings over a contracted period.
While ESCOs are a well-established concept globally, Cambodia currently lacks a developed ESCO market. Recognizing the potential of ESCOs to contribute to Cambodia's energy efficiency goals, CAPRED aims to pilot potential investment models between ESCOs and businesses, starting with agro-processing facilities.
CAPRED seeks to engage a consulting firm to develop and deliver a training program and accompanying tools on Social and Behaviour Change Communications (SBCC) for its staff.

CAPRED is seeking a consultancy firm to develop a practical business plan for the MAC. This plan will detail the benefits of MAC for farmers, including its products and pricing, as well as the costs and funding required to launch and operate the system. It will also outline how MAC will make and manage money and how profits and losses will be distributed among its members. The business plan will focus on straightforward and achievable activities for the farmer groups, ensuring they are not overwhelmed by complexity as they grow.
This new initiative offers technical and financial support to agri-food SMEs on product innovation, market development, and food safety standards. The fund is the result of a partnership between Australia’s flagship economic development program, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) and the Royal Government of Cambodia’s Khmer Enterprise.
