Consultant for Data Collection of Stakeholders and Supply Chain Mapping in the SME Construction Sector

Announcement Description

In Cambodia’s hot climate, climate change and unplanned urban growth have increased residents’ exposure to extreme heat, especially in energy-inefficient housing. This has led to energy poverty, higher household energy costs, and worsened health issues related to heat stress. The overreliance on air conditioning as a primary cooling solution significantly raises energy consumption, straining household budgets and contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions.

This issue stems from a lack of technical and financial resources, outdated building practices, limited awareness of energy-efficient solutions, and insufficient engagement from policymakers. Currently, low-cost, low-tech solutions to mitigate heat in buildings are underdeveloped and underutilized. In Cambodia, 45% of the electricity consumed is used for cooling, with 80% of that directed towards space cooling in buildings. Improving thermal comfort in urban housing, reducing high energy consumption, and addressing the lack of affordable energy-efficient retrofitting options in Phnom Penh are crucial.

The project aims to enhance living conditions and climate resilience for urban populations in Phnom Penh by implementing cost-effective, energy-efficient retrofitting solutions and practices for cooling.

Initially, it will directly impact 560 direct beneficiaries, including 100 households (480 people), 15 SMEs (30 employees), 2 MFIs, and 50 government stakeholders. The Project will also directly reach 15,000 individuals through behavior change campaigns. By collaborating with local SMEs and financial institutions, the project promotes market adoption of retrofitting in Cambodia.
