Announcement Description

Cambodian agriculture is central to the country’s economy, rural livelihoods, and food security. About 77% of rural households rely on agriculture, fisheries, and forestry, and the sector contributes 21.9% of GDP, making it a key pillar of the government’s development strategy. In Siem Reap Province, 3,444 hectares of market gardening produced 29,090 tonnes of vegetables in 2022, but 11,128 tonnes still had to be imported to meet local demand. The tourism sector in Siem Reap town accounts for nearly 20% of fresh produce demand1.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism collapsed, causing job losses and a drop in agricultural prices, which worsened household livelihoods and increased food insecurity in rural areas in 2021. Siem Reap was particularly affected due to its reliance on tourism. Additionally, ongoing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have further reduced foreign tourist arrivals, compounding the economic impact.

Cambodian farmers face some major challenges. One of these is market access. Farmers have difficulty finding reliable markets to sell their produce in a context of competition with imported products.

Another major challenge is climate change, threatening crop yields, livestock, and fisheries. Nearly 90% of the population lives in high environmental risk areas, and 99% experienced at least one disaster in the past year, with 75% facing three or more. While both men and women are exposed to these hazards, women tend to experience greater impacts. Rural and displaced women face more barriers to accessing healthcare and hygiene products. They are also more likely than men to report crop damage (53% vs. 42%) and livestock losses (35% vs. 26%), and more women report increased unpaid childcare responsibilities due to disasters (26% vs. 22%).

Summary

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

As part of the TETARD project, with the support of ASANAO project, GRET plans to conduct a gender study with the contribution of a consultant. A gender diagnostic was done in 2016. However, the context and the project both evolved during the past decade, and it is necessary to assess if the approach of the project to ensure gender equity is still accurate.

By gender, GRET refers to the socially constructed nature of female and male identities and the social relationships that result from them. These social norms are at the root of gender inequalities and discrimination affecting those who deviate from them. GRET is committed to implement gender-sensitive projects and to contribute through its actions to reducing gender inequality and combating all forms of gender-based violence.

It is for this reason that GRET wishes to carry out this study, to assess the effects of the project in term of gender equity and ensure Gret is respecting a “Do Not Harm” approach that enables the project to take the most relevant actions possible from a gender perspective.

This study will meet the following objectives:

  1. Refine knowledge and understanding of the context in the project intervention area (humanitarian and socio-economic situation, conflict dynamics, actors, connectors and dividers, gender-based inequalities and violence);
  2. Assess the impacts of the project over its 16 years of implementation on gender equality and equity and to analyze how gender dynamics, roles, opportunities and outcomes have evolved since the previous gender diagnosis, in order to identify progress, persistent gaps, and areas requiring improvement for more gender-responsive programming;
  3. Formulate operational recommendations to strengthen the project's gender mainstreaming.
