PHNOM PENH (Xinhua): The United Nations in Cambodia, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), has launched two joint programmes to expand financing options for the Cambodian government, said a joint press statement on Thursday (April 8).
Both programmes have been designed to meet growing demands for development investments and to maintain financial lifelines for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), particularly women-owned enterprises, the statement said.
The programmes would support the realisation of the Cambodia Sustainable Development Goals (CSDGs), it said.
The first programme, the Integrated National Financing Framework to Catalyze Blended Finance for Transformative CSDG Achievement, will be implemented by two UN agencies and the second program, Unlocking Cambodian Women s Potential Through Fiscal Space Creation (A Credit Guarantee Scheme for Women-owned Enterprises) will be carried out by four UN agencies, the statement said.
