The Government of Cambodia is undertaking the Livelihood Enhancement and Association of the Poor Project with support from the World Bank. The project development objective of the LEAP project is to improve access of poor and vulnerable households in selected communities to financial services, opportunities for generating income and small-scale infrastructure, and to provide an immediate and effective response in case of an eligible crisis or emergency.

ការពិពណ៌នាការងារ

The project development objective is being achieved through:

  • establishment of self-help groups, savings and credit groups, producer groups, agricultural cooperatives and other groups/organizations
  • provision of capacity building and training to beneficiaries to improve income generation opportunities
  • establishment of private sector linkages to improve and expand market opportunities, and
  • identification and provision of community-based social and economic infrastructure to help improve the livelihoods and economic productivity of the poor.

Beneficiaries of the LEAP project include Phnom Penh Capital and the province of Siem Reap. In Phnom Penh Capital, beneficiaries come from Sangkats that were selected by means of: (i) eight districts where IDPoor data is available in Sangkats with the largest total number of IDPoor households[1]; and (b) in the four districts for which IDPoor data is not available due to their central or downtown location. IDPoor household members of Self-Help Groups, producer groups and agricultural cooperatives are the main project beneficiaries in Siem Reap. Households in the target communes/sangkats benefit from planned infrastructure improvements.
