The project has received approval from the Mekong Institute entitled "Integrated Watershed Management of the Mekong Basin Tributary for Adaptation to Climate Change in Cambodia." This project will be implemented in the Stung Prek Tnaot Basin, a large river basin that frequently experiences disasters such as floods. To achieve these, actions will be taken to – following the long-term objectives of the project are detailed as follows:

  • Improve flood resilience and reduce damage and loss for social and economic development in the river basin.
  • Strengthen the watershed management under climate and land-use change pressure by integrating nature-based solutions (NBS).
  • Enhance policy direction in sustainable watershed management from the national to the sub-national level.
