ADB Grants US$7.4 Million to Enhance Communities’ Resilience to Climate Change in Two Provinces


28 April 2015

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Cambodia on Monday signed a grant agreement totaling US$7.4 million to enhance communities’ resilience to climate change impacts in Koh Kong and Mondulkiri provinces.

This grant agreement will increase water availability through the construction of 40 rainwater harvesting ponds for home gardens and introducing drought-resilient in both provinces. It will also rehabilitate an irrigation scheme in Mondulkiri for an area of 250 hectares, and support the adoption of a rice intensification system that will benefit about 1,000 households.
