The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP is present in 185 countries. The Cambodia Country Office works in partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), non-government organizations, community-based organizations, development partners, and the private sector to support the Kingdom’s progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UNDP Cambodia Country Programme (CPD) 2024-2028 is aligned with key national priorities including Cambodia’s vision 2050 and the Pentagonal Strategy-Phase 1 2024-2028. The CPD 2024-28 identified three transformational shifts for support. The first shift is toward a more sustainable and green economic development model for accelerating inclusive growth, economic diversification, and human development. The second shift involves championing just energy transition, climate action and nature-based solutions as the foundation for national wealth, well-being, and resilience to shocks. The third shift is towards strengthening institutions, civic space, and participation as enablers for inclusive growth, access to rights and equal opportunities for all, whilst ensuring that the society at large is using the full potential of digital transformation.
Guided by the UNDP Signature Solution on Environment, UNDP will continue working with the Ministry of Environment (MoE) for inclusive environmental governance reforms and policy coherence that focus on better quality of, and access to, data, as well as improving coordination and institutional capacities for sustainable natural resources management. UNDP will work with the government and private sector in pursuing new avenues for sustainable financing and non-tax revenue management, greening value chains, promoting impact standards, and raising public awareness on the value of ecosystem goods and services. Community-based management will be advocated for, and nature-based solutions and sustainable livelihoods promoted for sustainability and fostering a sense of ownership. UNDP will promote an enabling environment that encompasses inclusive and gender-responsive policies, regulations, knowledge and capabilities, sectoral mainstreaming, and networking. UNDP will collaborate with the private sector on promoting innovative solutions, green businesses, new markets, and access to sustainable financing. On the demand side, UNDP will promote consumer and citizen awareness on circularity and build capacities and skills for green and circular economy jobs.
Cambodia’s economy and population have grown rapidly in tandem. From 2014 to 2022, GDP per capita increased from $1,448 to $2,345 (NIS 2023). Meanwhile, the population grew from 14.8 million in 2014 to 16.8 million in 2022 (NIS 2023). The growing economy and population have vastly increased the use of energy and materials, and the amount of waste generated. This has added significant pressure on Cambodia’s resources, and environment.
The total final energy consumption grew by 6.6 % per year in 2000 – 2010 and by 7.9 % per in 2010 – 2019 (Theangseng, H. “2023”) . There was also a sharp increase in material use and waste from manufacturing, construction, and consumption. Total municipal solid waste is estimated to be 4 million metric tons (MoE 2019). In Phnom Penh, the volume of total municipal waste increased more than three times over a 12-year period, from 343,657 metric tons in 2007 to 1,058,500 metric tons in 2019 (MoE 2020). About 20% of this waste is plastic. Increased economic activities and consumption has led to alarming levels of air pollution, which threatens public health in the major cities.
To tackle the environmental challenges, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) developed the national Circular Economy Strategy and Action Plan (2021-2035). This plan includes a foundational vision and mission for the Circular Economy in Cambodia.
Thus far, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Cambodia has assisted the RGC in advancing priority circular economy initiatives, primarily focusing on plastic management. These initiatives include: 1) combatting marine plastic litter project (the second phase will start in January 2025), 2) developing and implementing a National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP), and 3) Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC). Building on these initiatives, UNDP developed and being implemented a circular economy portfolio aiming to address the issue in a holistic manner. Hence, UNDP seeks to hire a project management specialist to support management and coordination of these different streams of works in collaboration with different teams of UNDP, with government agencies, CSOs, and development partners.
