    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 “Helping Women to Help Themselves”

    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 “Helping women to help themselves” A woman saving group member in Kralanh district, Siem Reap with her dragon fruit plantation 1 INTRODUCTION National machinery and mechanisms are in place to promote gender equality in Cambodia; however, we cannot say gender equality is a reality. The majority of women who live in rural areas still lack access to basic necessities of life, with all girls and women facing unequal access to healthcare, education, employment and political participation. Violence is a lived reality for a large percentage of the population, especially women, and post-conflict issues such as instability in the family, diminished human capital, and poverty impact on women’s enjoyment of their human rights. Cambodia, emerging from years of intense violence and suffering, is still one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, despite huge increases in development and the economy. Implementation of recently updated laws and international protocols is irregular, due in part to a lack of training and education about the law at various levels. The work of CWCC in education about the law is important. It is still unclear how the planned NGO law will affect the work of CWCC. Poverty is a crosscutting issue in our work. Lack of access to education and resources impacts women and girls the most, and these effects have only been exacerbated by the global financial crisis, with an accompanying loss in a huge amount of factory jobs. In addition, the implementation of new taxation laws is expected to bring increased poverty, which leads to increases in such high-risk choices as migration for work.

    ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Electricity Authority of Cambodia ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Report on Power Sector for the Year 2012 0 Electricity Authority of Cambodia Preface The Annual Report on Power Sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia 2013 Edition is compiled from informations for the year 2012 availble with EAC and received from licensees, MIME and other organizations in the power sector. The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.
