Projects

SNV in Cambodia has been implementing a number of projects in three sectors:

Renewable Energy

National Biodigester Programme

The overall objective of the extended first phase of the NBP, remains the establishment of a permanent domestic biodigesters sector on a commercial, market oriented basis for the dissemination of biodigesters as an indigenous, sustainable energy source in 12 provinces of Cambodia. Read more...

Waste to Energy for the Rice Milling Sector

Since the Cambodian rice milling sector do not have enough capacity to purchase and dry wet paddy, farmers sell wet paddy to traders in Vietnam and Thailand at a lower price. This coupled with high electricity/fuel prices, and limited access to modern technologies, paddy is either exported unprocessed or processed through diesel powered engines resulting into high processing cost.

Therefore, to create a rice milling sector that is both competitive and environmentally responsible, the project will promote the switch from conventional (expensive, fossil fuel generated) energy to renewable WtE applications through upgraded rice husks gasification systems and reduce the processing cost for millers.

It followed a scan that was done end of 2010 early 2011 on other opportunities in the FFV programme to widen the scope next to the existing vegetable value chain assignment. An initial market opportunity scan has been worked out, field visits done and multiple discussions held with client. Read more...

Climate Change Adaption in Agriculture Production Systems

The first aim is to improve rice productivity for food security as well as rice exports (jobs & income along the VC) through introduction of improved cultivation methods that increase per hectare productivity as well as quick response techniques to climate hazards. These can be through development of input markets for seeds and labour saving tools, strengthening of R&D into appropriate varieties and improving post-harvest storage facilities both for trade and safety nets.

High Impact Tourism Training (HITT)

This project responds directly to the high demands of the Cambodian tourism industry on vocational training for the informal economy target.
