Phonm Penh – Local partnership for urban poverty reduction
Duration: December 2000– September 2002
Budget: US$177,719

The programme aimed to reduce the broad range of insecurities faced by an inflow of migrants from rural areas settling in Phnom Penh’s expanding informal settlements. Through an integrated poverty reduction strategy, the programme improved access to basic services, provided vocational training and enhanced opportunities for income generation, and improved local governance through dialogue between the settlers and the local authorities.
