Announcement Description

BORDA is a German NGO with offices in more than 20 countries worldwide. BORDA has been active in Southeast Asia since late 1980s – with the aim to improve the living conditions of disadvantaged communities and to keep the environment intact through the expansion of sanitation services in the areas of decentralised sanitation, wastewater, faecal sludge, solid waste management and holistic livable city planning. We work with local governments and enterprises to improve communal planning processes, sanitary supply structures and services in cities at variety of scales and applications.

Project Background

BORDA (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association) is a German NGO established in 1977 and active in Southeast Asia since 1988, delivering decentralised and nature-based solutions in sanitation, wastewater, and solid waste management across Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand.

From 2023 to 2025, BORDA e.V. has been implementing the BMZ-funded project “Improving the Quality of Life and Strengthening the Resilience of Small Towns through Sustainable Sanitation” in Laos and Cambodia. The project supports national and local stakeholders in adopting decentralised sanitation and faecal sludge management solutions, improving institutional capacities, and promoting integrated and resilient sanitation approaches in secondary and tertiary cities.

As the project nears completion, BORDA seeks to consolidate evidence on achievements, effectiveness, and lessons learned. An external end-of-project evaluation is required to assess results against BMZ criteria—relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact—and to provide recommendations that will inform future programming.

In Cambodia, project results have demonstrated an increasing need for fit-for-purpose decentralised sanitation solutions that complement existing and planned centralised wastewater systems.
