with Swisscontact Cambodia
Swisscontact – the Swiss Foundation for Technical Cooperation – is an independent non-profit foundation established in 1959 by exponents of the Swiss private sector. We foster sustainable and inclusive economic development and are active in 41 countries with 139 active projects and more than 1176 employees. Swisscontact has been presenting in Cambodia since January 2013 and operates in six working areas - vocational education and training, labour market insertion, continuing vocational education and training, entrepreneurial ecosystems, sustainable agriculture and sustainable tourism development - always acting through private sector development. Building on the wider organisation’s regional and global experience, Swisscontact strives to support local areas of focus, including agricultural innovation, tourism, impact investment, and renewable energy.

As part of the ISA project, and with funding from the Agroecology and Safe Food Systems Transitions (ASSET) project, Swisscontact has been working with the Preah Vihear Meanchey Union of Agricultural Cooperatives (PMUAC). The Union has 25 agricultural communities, equivalent to over 6 thousand farmers with a total production area around 300 thousand, and most produce rice and cassava. The partnership specifically emphasizes creating and running a cover crop initiative to enhance farm and soil health, climate-smart practices, and possible sources of new income for local farmers. Grounded in the above with KroupouchKasekor framework, the initiative aims to illustrate the role of business models in building more resilient and sustainable agriculture through Agricultural Cooperatives (ACs) in rural Cambodia.
To support us in the project activities, we are looking for a motivated individual consultant or consulting firm to be a part of our team.
