As part of Natural Resource Governance (NRG) Program, Climate Resilience for All (CREFA) is an innovative, long-term project designed by a consortium of nine organisations with expertise in climate smart agriculture, renewable energy, climate resilience, and policy dialogue and development. Led by Oxfam in Cambodia, the goal of CREFA is to address Cambodians’ vulnerability to climate change through targeted activities aimed at enhancing capabilities for mitigation and adaptation. Using a twin track approach of policy dialogue development coupled with building local capacities for climate resilience, CREFA will strengthen responsive capacities, improve resilience, and promote sustainable development in line with SDG 7, SDG 12, and SDG 13. It will do so by working in close cooperation with the National Council for Sustainable Development [NCSD] and the Department of Climate Change within the Ministry of Environment [MOE], 2) local provincial, district, and commune councillors, 3) private sector green growth actors including financial institutions, 4) other climate change CSOs and development partners, and, most importantly 4) SMEs and small holder farmers. It is important to note that the project expects to engage a wide range of stakeholders from government agencies at national and subnational levels, local authorities, and communities in (Tonle Sap Biosphere Region) and North-eastern Cambodia (Battambang, Siem Reap, Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, and Preah Vihear).

CREFA is positioned as the start of a multi-year Climate Initiative by Oxfam in Cambodia, the aim of which is the transformation of climate challenges and risks into opportunities for equitable, sustainable growth. As such, the project aligns well with Oxfam’s current efforts in disaster risk reduction and social protection. .
