The Capfish/Foster program is a three-and-a-half-year program funded by the European Union Delegation implemented in the Tonle Sap (TS) Lake.
The project focuses on improving the resilience, productivity, and socio-economic conditions of women and men in the fishing communities as well as the ecological sustainability of the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR) through community-centered interventions that improve access to safe water and sanitation, enhanced education opportunity and quality for vulnerable and poor girls and boys with increased availability and accessibility to education, and facilitate the development of sustainable alternative livelihoods.
In addition, the Green Economy component of the project creates sustainable livelihoods and employment opportunities in three sub-sectors – eco- tourism, solar energy and sustainable agriculture – through interventions that create income sources while reducing environmental pressures on the TSBR.
