Announcement Description

The Climate Resilience Enhancement for Building Adaptive Capacity in Agri-Value Chains in Cambodia (CREA) project was approved for implementation in March 2024 for a total duration of 4 years and a Grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) of USD 4,860,000 under the focal area of Climate Change.

The CREA project is implemented over a four-year period with five target provinces – Battambang, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Prey Veng and Takeo. The target provinces were chosen based on their exposure to climate risks. In Phase II the project will expand its outreach nation-wide. As the lead Executing Agency, MAFF supports the proposed project activities focusing on the adoption of climate resilient technologies (CRTs) and innovative finance solutions with adaptation benefits for smallholder farmers, agricultural cooperatives (AC) / Producer Organizations (POs) and agri-MSMEs in rural Cambodia. The CREA project is expected to benefit 10,000 households, of which 1,500 are headed by women.
