Padek works in five project areas representing parts of Cambodia where most of the population lives in a situation characterized by daily survival. Padek's methodology aims to address the structural causes of food insecurity at the root, by building and strengthening civil society ('safety net') organizations in 198 communities and by setting up sustainable income generating activities.
Padek intervenes on several fronts, thus aiming to: increase farmers' capacity in appropriate farming technologies, generate more income from farming and non-farming activities, improve agricultural infrastructure, address the issue of land ownership, ensure safe drinking water and increase awareness on nutrition of some 26,300 families. The EU contribution will enable Padek to meet the increasing demand for intervention in the field of food security and to expand its intervention by twenty additional villages per year.
