Announcement Description

Banteay Srei (Citadel of Women) is a registered Cambodian NGO with over twenty years of experience working with vulnerable Cambodian women and communities in rural areas to promote women’s political, economic, and social development. Banteay Srei organization has evolved from the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA), an Australian NGO, and has become a leading Cambodian NGO in the areas of building women’s leadership in rural areas, strengthening women’s participation in local community development processes, promoting gender equality and women’s rights, and increasing community action on positive gender relations and against gender-based violence in Siem Reap and Battambang provinces.

Banteay Srei is currently partnering with Oxfam-DGD to implement the project “Promoting Women in Leadership and Women’s Economic Empowerment in the Agri-Food Sector.” The project aims to strengthen the capacity of women workers and women farmers in the agri-food sector to effectively engage with policymakers, employers, and relevant stakeholders to advocate for their rights, including gender-transformative and shock-responsive social protection and labor rights. The project also supports employers to improve compliance with labor standards and gender equality principles in the workplace.

Through project implementation, Banteay Srei has identified that many women-led micro and small enterprises, producer groups, and women entrepreneurs face persistent challenges in entrepreneurship development, business planning, financial management, bookkeeping, marketing, market access, and understanding of available social protection benefits. These gaps limit business growth, sustainability, and resilience.
