The Government of New Zealand
has signed to provide a financial assistance of US$3,753,340 to Cambodia to
safeguard Angkor temples for five years from 2014 to 2019.
A cooperation agreement on
Angkor Community Heritage Enhancement Project was signed on June 4 on the
sidelines of the 23rd Technical Session of the International Coordinating
Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor
(ICC-Angkor) taking place on 4-5 June in Siem Reap, home to Angkor temples.
According to the press
release, the financial assistance is very important for the sustainable
management of the Angkor Archeological Park by safeguarding heritage and
improving livelihoods for people living in the area. This fund was provided to
continue the previous project of Angkor Participatory Natural Resource
Management and Livelihoods (APNRM & L) worth US$2 million from 2009 to 2013.
