Introduction
1. Background: The PADEK consortium of funding agencies began
work in Cambodia in 1979. Work continued sporadically through the 1980s. In the
1990s, PADEK has moved away from institutional and infrastructural projects
towards a more integrated, non-sectoral approach to community and rural
development. Farmers are the main partners of PADEK.
2. Objective: To empower disadvantaged people to improve their
quality of life in a sustainable way.
3. Counterparts/Partners: Organized groups of
rural and urban poor, village and commune development committees.
4. Activities: PADEK’s integrated community development has
eight components: food security; health; education and culture; environment;
capacity building; income generation; social action; and staff development.
