Cambodia Water Security Improvement Project

About this project

The proposed project consists of four components with an estimated total financing cost of US$150 million of which US$145 million and is expected to be implemented over a period of six years: Component 1: Improved water resources planning and institution (US$10 million). This component will review policies and regulations, and their adequacy in supporting water resources management and dam safety, with the overarching goal of operationalizing them. Furthermore, the component would strengthen data collection, analysis, and transboundary data sharing with Vietnam. The improved regulatory framework and strengthened data and analytics would result in the preparation of RBMPs as a long-term basin wide development tool to manage and sustain water resources and guide strategic investments in the selected priority basins. The component would support establishing RBCs to support and coordinate basin-level development. Finally, the component would develop institutional capacity of MOWRAM, PDOWRAM and other provincial stakeholders. Component 2: Improve and Sustain Water Service Delivery (US$112 million). In order to achieve the delivery of improved and sustained water services to end users, the component will finance: 1) rehabilitation and upgrading of targeted existing water resources infrastructure for irrigation, water supply, and flood control, and 2) establish new or staff existing FWUCs and support financial sustainability of FWUCs, and 3) provide technical assistance to PDWRAMs/…
