In Cambodia, IFAD’s work focuses on the following thematic areas:

• Agricultural value chain development, facilitation, and brokering service.

• Extension policy implementation using diverse models to deliver extension to farmers, including “contracting out”, farmer-to-farmer extension services, support to farmers’ organizations, public-private partnerships, and direct extension by the public sector.

• Programme budgeting and development of the national and provincial agricultural development plans.

• Rural infrastructure for agricultural markets, business and trade.

• Digital technology for the agriculture sector, including online payment, digital finance, online logistics and digital markets for agricultural value chains.

• Climate change adaptation in extension, conservation agriculture practice, and risk mitigation in infrastructure investment.

• Renewable energy technology, including support for smallholder agriculture value chains.

• Microfinance, including value chain financing and group revolving funds.

• Skills and enterprise development through support for the implementation of a demand-driven skills development fund and an enterprise promotion fund.

• Programme-based approach leveraging synergies between ongoing IFAD-supported projects to create an integrated package of support to the smallholder agriculture sector, and working with other development partners through a country programme steering committee.
