Announcement Description

 

1. Background

 

Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development facility in Cambodia. Funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and implemented by Cowater International, CAPRED focuses on supporting inclusive economic recovery and boosting resilience and sustainability over the next five years from 2022 to 2027. CAPRED adopts a mix of a programmatic and facility model. The facility model allows CAPRED to flexibly tackle a range of emerging inter-related public and private sector constraints and opportunities to promote resilient, inclusive, and sustainable growth (RISE) across different sectors.

 

CAPRED is supporting the Cambodian Government - Private Sector Forum (G-PSF). The G-PSF is Cambodia's peak multi-stakeholder platform for fostering dialogue and partnerships between the RGC and the private sector. Established in 1999, the G-PSF plenary is chaired by the Prime Minister. G-PSF comprises sixteen (16) Working Groups (WGs). These WGs are co-chaired by a government minister and a representative from the private sector. The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) is the main Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) secretariat whereas the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) is the private sector's secretariat. Other stakeholders include Business Membership Organisations (BMOs) in the respective sectoral WGs of G-PSF.

 

CAPRED has been supporting the G-PSF tracking system with online functions of a database that deploys Microsoft Excel. There is an emerging demand for upgrading from the current system to a G-PSF Monitoring and Evaluation system that is online, comprehensive, and has interactive interfaces.

Request For Proposals - Internship Program for Women in Clean Energy

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.
