Since 2019, MOWA and WEDU has joint to develop some activities and action plan to find any cooperation with other partners to implement the project. Since that time we couldn't found any partner yet, so this project has been stuck for a while in 2019 and due to dynamic COVID 19 arrived almost around the world including Cambodia. But we still keep in touch through digital to find the way out and move forward. Fortunately, in 2021, MoWA and WEDU has got the program from WATERAID on Advancing Women’s Leadership in WASH from Feb 2021 to March 2022 in three province (Kandal, Kompong, and Kompong Spue province). This programme
(implemented by Wedu Cambodia and supported by WaterAid Cambodia)provides women in WASH the opportunity to improve their leadership capability to better serve their communities. This partnership will focus on four core goals: 1. To empower women working in WASH with improved leadership skills, knowledge andself-confidence through participating in decision-making processes that improve theaccess of women in WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) services
2. To co-develop women leadership programme which is applicable and replicated for otherwomen in WASH, and generate learnings of the programme
3.To increase meaningful involvement and participation of women and women’s representative in decision-making in WASH sector coordinating, planning, budgeting, monitoring and delivering services with confidence
4. To promote more gender equality champion among WASH leaders in the WASH sector inCambodia |
