Financing Cambodia’s land management strategies: the role of the GM
8 February, 2010
Following the five-day capacity enhancement and knowledge exchange workshop on Designing Integrated Financing Strategies (DIFS) - jointly organized by the GM and UNDP last year - Cambodia has moved forward in the design of its IFS as an integral part of the development of its National Action Programme (NAP) to combat desertification.
The GM interviewed Mr Uk Sokhonn, Cambodia’s Secretary of State for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and National Project Director of the Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Project, to enhance understanding of how the country is gathering momentum in its endeavour to increase finance towards the restoration of vital lands.
