Cambodia is advancing towards universal clean water access, yet rising demand and growing climate pressures mean connecting the remaining communities requires new solutions and stronger partnerships.
More than 350 participants from government, the private sector, academia and development partners gathered at the 6th Cambodian Water Conference & Trade Exhibition this week to explore innovative solutions to this challenge.
Australia supported the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation and the Cambodian Water Supply Association, to jointly host this year conference, which highlighted the value of collaboration and innovation, especially as Cambodia prepares for the potential impacts of a strengthening El Niño.
Australia is committed to supporting a stronger, more resilient water sector, so that families and businesses across the country can benefit from reliable, affordable and sustainable water services.
