Sustainable and Responsible Investments
Investment in the agro-industry can support food and nutrition security, create jobs, tackle poverty, and achieve other important sustainable developments in Cambodia when implemented correctly. These are the reasons why CPSA began working in the field of responsible and sustainable investments in the agriculture sector.
Our Activities
Our team has been engaged in two important projects in this area, namely the World Economic Forum (WEF) Sustainable Investment Project, and the promotion of the ASEAN Guidelines for Responsible Investments in Food, Agriculture and Forestry (ASEAN RAI).
The ASEAN Guidelines for Responsible Investments in Food, Agriculture, and Forestry were developed in 2018 through a multi-stakeholder process involving the ASEAN Secretariat, Grow Asia, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation and a World Bank trust fund. At the request of MAFF, IISD and CPSA supported and participated in a two-day scoping visit within Cambodia in October 2019. On this occasion, CPSA also held a session to publicly promote the guidelines. [Read More]
