The IWRMP receives financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Key Provisions or Decisions
The session aimed to evaluate work progress in distinct project areas, identify challenges, and formulate solutions to enhance discipline, workflows, and collaboration. Emphasis was placed on regular monitoring meetings to boost management effectiveness and ensure on-schedule delivery of results.

While primarily an internal coordination meeting, the strengthened management and cooperative framework supports the stability and sustainability of water-related infrastructure development initiatives. This creates a more predictable environment for stakeholders involved in Cambodia’s water resource sector.
