On November 8, 2024, Habitat for Humanity International in Cambodia, in collaboration with the Siem Reap Provincial Administration at Angkor Thom District, launched the Build Gender-Inclusive Approach to Shelter and Resilience Building project. A workshop was held with representatives from five villages in Chob Ta Trav commune, as well as local government officials and partner organizations. The event aimed to inform stakeholders about the project’s goals and encourage their involvement, while also gathering input to improve the project’s approach. Participants worked together to identify effective interventions and create action plans for successful implementation.

Cambodia is currently experiencing rapid urbanization in several cities and provinces with economic potential, leading to population growth in these areas. Consequently, there is a growing demand for housing, especially affordable housing for middle-income families, low-income households, and vulnerable groups.

To tackle this issue, the General Department of Housing, with partial funding from Habitat for Humanity International in Cambodia, organized a workshop on “Technical support for housing funding and credit.” The workshop aimed to disseminate information to relevant housing institutions and collaborate on devising an effective and sustainable plan for affordable housing in Cambodia.
