Australia has been a strong, consistent and strategic partner to Cambodia for more than 70 years in its journey from conflict to prosperity.
The Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is founded on Australia’s commitment to support the Royal Government of Cambodia’s market-oriented approach to inclusive economic development and pursue regional and global integration.
CAPRED is unique among development programs in Cambodia. We design and trial approaches, gather and evaluate evidence that they work, and develop policies to support their implementation. CAPRED aims to be a catalyst for sustainable transformation. To maximise impact, we focus on identifying ideas, technologies and innovations and scaling them to a national level.
Our primary goal is to help Cambodia achieve resilient, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development (RISE). Our vision is people centric. We do not just aim to raise incomes and create quality jobs; the changes we produce must benefit all, regardless of gender, ability, ethnicity or socio-economic status. Economic development must extend to marginalised people and those living in poverty and mitigate emerging climate change threats.
This document outlines the strategy for implementing the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) Facility, a five-year initiative (2022-2027) with a possible three-year extension.

There are also three cross-cutting themes that influence all our activities:
Resilient economic growth is stable over time. It absorbs and responds to external shocks, including those from climate.
Inclusive economic growth creates opportunities for all and distributes dividends fairly across society. It raises the poor out of poverty and creates quality jobs.
Sustainable economic development is long-lasting and self-perpetuating. Its effects do not dissipate. There are incentives for the development to continue.
Economic growth brings a better life to all. It includes both social and economic benefits. It allow people to reach their full potential.
