Region Project (CMB/02/G81)

The "Capacity Building for Sustainable Development in the Tonle
Sap Region" (CBTS) project is part of the larger Tonle Sap Environmental
Management Programme (TSEMP), which aims to promote sustainable management
of natural resources in the Tonle Sap basin. TSEMP is composed of three
components as follows:
Component 1: Strengthening natural resource management coordination
and planning for the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR)
Component 2: Organizing communities for natural resource management
in the TSBR
Component 3: Building management capacity for biodiversity conservation
in the TSBR
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Royal Government of Cambodia
(RGC) mainly support Components 1 and 2, while Capacity 2015, UNDP/GEF
and RGC support Component 3. Capacity2015 contribution is aimed at "building
capacity for sustainable development in the Tonle Sap area through participatory
approaches”, and is expected to enable the development and implementation
of sustainable participatory management practices at the community levels
around the perimeter of the lake for the critical resources of the Tonle
Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR). It will likewise provide technical assistance
to strengthen the capacity of government agencies and local communities
to sustain natural resource management activities. Specifically, it
will support training and capacity building of community fisheries officers
and relevant stakeholders, support their partnership and support environmental
awareness and outreach activities.
