The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), with the support of the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), have initiated the preparation of the proposed Livable, Resilient and Water-Secure Cities Investment Program (‘LRWSCIP’). The proposed program will support priority short- to long-term investments in urban planning, water supply, sanitation, solid waste, and wastewater management infrastructure, along with related institutional strengthening activities. These investments are essential to expand resilient urban services and enhance water security in Cambodian cities.
LRWSCIP will prioritize 14 cities and 12 districts across the Mekong, Tonle Sap and coastal regions. The expected outcome is resilience, coverage, and sustainability of water supply, sanitation, and other urban services in 14 provinces expanded, improved, and strengthened.
