We are a leading organisation for the implementation of international development projects. We unleash the potential of private initiative to foster sustainable development and shared prosperity in developing and emerging economies.

Swisscontact Cambodia is co-implementing with Khmer Enterprise, the Enhancing Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Investment (3Ei) project that aims to support the mobilization of impact-investing capital and create an environment to support small and growing businesses (SGBs)1 to generate social and environmental impact. With five core pillars, including collaboration, entrepreneurship and innovation, service facility for blended finance, data and mentorship, 3Ei seeks to support the strengthening of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and enhance coordination for more effective and efficient systems. 3Ei is jointly funded by Khmer Enterprise, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).

EIS provides investment readiness and post-investment TA for SGBs through a pool of vetted consultants. The investment readiness TA is designed to support SGBs as they work to become investment ready and assist investors in building pipelines. The post-investment TA provides business support to SGBs who receive investment funds. This business support is meant to help mitigate risks for investors and support more successful growth forces.
