The Internship Program for Women in Clean Energy aims to address the significant underrepresentation of women in Cambodia's clean energy sector. Women's participation in technical roles, especially in solar operations, remains critically low due to barriers such as limited access to technical education, societal expectations, and a lack of practical, on-the-job training opportunities. To tackle these challenges, a 6-month internship program has been proposed to provide targeted outstanding recently graduated female graduates from the Institute of Electrical Science (IES) and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) with technical training and hands-on field experience. The objective is to address the technical skills gap and gender disparity in the clean energy sector by providing internship opportunities for young female graduates at Renewable Energy Generators - solar farms.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC), and Electricity du Cambodge (EDC), CAPRED has developed a capacity building program to enhance the capacity of relevant government officials on integration and management of Variable Renewable Energy - utility scale and rooftop solar.

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.
