Press release: Launch of the Cambodia – Australia water utility improvement program
On 16 July 2019, the Australian Embassy in Cambodia announced the launching of “Cambodia-Australia Water Utility Improvement Program (WUIP)”. The program will support Cambodian water operators to improve water service delivery across Cambodia. The WUIP will connect South East Water, a major water utility based in Melbourne, Australia with three Cambodian private water utilities through a two-year knowledge sharing program to improve access to safe and reliable water for thousands of Cambodians. The partnership will provide Cambodian utilities with exposure to the high quality technology and management practices of Australian water utilities. The WUIP is being facilitated by the Australian Water Association (AWA) with their partner, the Cambodian Water Supply Association (CWA).
