About the Project The project development objective is to establish the foundation for effective water resource and fisheries management in the project areas in the northeast of Cambodia. This objective will be achieved through:
Component 1: Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Establishing community fisheries through forming approximately 70 community fisheries
organizations, including management plans, demarcation of fishing areas and conservation zones, enforcement of fishing regulations, systematic monitoring and reporting, and evaluation of management plans.
Providing technical support to local, provincial, and national fishery management organizations to implement their management plans.
Enhancing fishing community livelihoods by constructing a fish hatchery that has the capacity to produce roughly three million fingerlings per year, providing small grants to support livelihood diversification, and constructing small-scale infrastructure identified in Commune Development Plans.
Building capacity among the main management actors to more effectively co-manage fish resources in the project area and to plan and implement small-scale infrastructure development
Supporting Fisheries Administration and Provincial Fisheries Administration in their operations.
Component 2: Water Resources Management Strengthening Water Resource Management Institutions by focusing on developing the
capacity of the Cambodia National Mekong Committee (CNMC), the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MoWRAM) and Provincial Departments of Water Resources and Meteorology (PDoWRAM) in stakeholder education program support and transboundary water management activities.
Financing hydrological and meteorological monitoring stations, field surveys, development of water resource models, formulation of river basin profile studies, and water resources monitoring and assessment programs.

Mekong Integrated Water Resources
Management Phase 3 IN CAMBODIA
Implementing Agencies: Fishery Administration of the
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
Cambodia National Mekong Committee and
Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology.
Background The Mekong River is one of the world’s great river systems, flowing 4,909km through six countries: China, Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The Mekong Basin has abundant water resources and supports rich and productive eco-systems. Hydropower development is taking place at a rapid pace throughout the Basin, with approximately 40 large hydropower projects in operation or under construction, and at least 40 more projects in various stages of planning. Protecting the Basin’s rich eco-system, while simultaneously exploiting its hydropower potential, is one of the great challenges facing the Mekong countries. However, these resources are being threatened by basin development activities including hydropower dam construction, overexploitation arising from ineffective management and lack of alternative livelihoods; critical fish habitat degradation; and climate change.
Fisheries are important for Cambodia. Inland fisheries account for about 8 to 10 percent of the country’s GDP. About five percent of the total population is engaged in inland fisheries on a full-time basis, and about thirty percent do so part-time. Fisheries contribute to food security in Cambodia; freshwater fish and aquatic animals from the Mekong contribute more than two thirds of the total protein intake for the Cambodian people.
