Two PRIMEX consultants will be joining an ADB project preparation team to design the Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project in Cambodia.
Jerome Lacap, Rural ICT Specialist, and Felix Noel Pascua, Environment and Public Health Specialist, are expected to commence work on around 10 August 2008.
Despite Cambodia's significant economic growth in recent years, the persistence of rural poverty and growing income disparity between rural and urban areas have become a cause of deep concern for the government and its development partners. This project will be one among several projects funded by ADB in the Tonle Sap Basin.
The sector project that will be designed under the TA will (i) enhance the factor productivity in farm, non-farm, and off-farm activities; (ii) improve access to product and financial markets; (iii) facilitate the use of technology and/or market information through introduction of rural ICT; and (iv) attain biosecure agriculture.
