The new phase focuses on supply-chain transparency and compliance with international social and environmental rules, moving beyond factory-floor audits to embed sustainability through public-private policy dialogue and workforce training, according to Cambodian media outlets.
The project aligns with Cambodia’s Pentagonal Strategy and GFT Development Roadmap 2022-2027, prioritising decent work, productivity and legal accountability.
Apart from funding, German development agency GIZ will offer technical expertise and policy advice to help Cambodia navigate upcoming EU and German supply-chain legislation.
