Consultancy for Field Mission and Stakeholder Consultation Support, Senmonorom CWIS Plan

Announcement Description

BORDA e.V. and Environmental Sanitation Cambodia (ESC) implement the BMZ-financed project "Decentralised Water and Sanitation Solutions for Small Towns in Cambodia and Laos" (2026–2028). Under Output 3, ESC is preparing a City-Wide Inclusive Sanitation plan for Senmonorom with the Provincial Administration and the Municipality, for endorsement in the fourth quarter of 2026.

An independent international expert will review the draft plan under a companion assignment. That review is desk-based, and a desk reviewer cannot establish what is actually on the ground in Mondulkiri: whether the land at the proposed treatment sites is owned by anyone identifiable, where sludge in fact ends up, which areas flood, and what the municipality and the provincial administration will and will not support. Nor can an international expert work in Khmer with communities and local authorities.

This assignment provides that evidence, and supports the municipal stakeholder consultation workshop that ESC will hold in Senmonorom at the same time. It is deliberately timed so that one journey serves both purposes.

Relationship to the review. The mission note produced under Work Package 2 is a formal input to the international review. The two consultants hold one joint online briefing, arranged by ESC, before the mission and one after it. The consultant here does not review the plan and is not asked to form a judgement on its technical quality.
