Context
Cambodia’s impressive economic growth over the past decade has resulted in significant population growth, particularly in urban centers. Enhancing major cities’ infrastructure is one of the top priorities for the RGC as indicated in its Rectangular Strategy and National Strategic Development Plan 2014-2018. Cambodia’s urban population accounts for around 21% of the total population of 15 million – compared to 16% in 1990. The urban sector accounts for around half of Cambodia’s GNI, and urban development is contributing to job creation and poverty reduction.
Since 2015, GGGI’s work in Cambodia is centered around the Green Urban Development Program, which responds to the emerging urbanization challenge. The objective of the program is to support green city planning by diffusing green growth concept and instruments as well as to assist in the development of bankable green city projects that result in climate change resilience and improved livelihoods for Cambodia’s urban poor.
