Deadline: 29-Aug-2025
The Ministry of Environment of Cambodia is working to reduce black carbon emissions in the transport sector. This will be done by strengthening the enforcement of vehicle emissions regulations and applying internationally recognized methodologies for on-road and periodic vehicle emissions inspections. The initiative also includes planning for the implementation of Euro 6 emission standards.
The project has an estimated cost of $200,000. One of the main outcomes is the endorsement of a joint ministerial declaration that sets official guidelines for monitoring fuel quality and vehicle emissions. Additionally, a strategy for enforcing vehicle emissions criteria, especially for the registration of new and used vehicles, will be adopted.
The project aims to improve the capacity of government enforcement officers and regulatory agencies to enforce emissions standards aligned with international best practices for Euro IV. It will also help integrate short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) into Cambodia’s national monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems, ensuring sustainability beyond the project’s duration.
Another key goal is to raise public awareness. By the end of the project, Cambodian citizens are expected to have greater knowledge of the benefits of adopting Euro 6 standards and the health risks linked to high levels of vehicle emissions.
Eligible applicants must be non-governmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), or other not-for-profit entities. The funding request should fit within the estimated project cost or clearly justify any additional expenses. The project must be completed in under 24 months, and budget guidelines must be followed. Applicants must provide their last three audited financial statements if requested.
For-profit organizations may only participate as stakeholders, co-founders, or end users. However, they can be included in the proposal or implementation phase if their involvement is essential to the success of the solution.
Proposals will be evaluated based on how clearly they outline the achievement of the project outcomes, plans for scaling and sustainability, and contributions to reducing SLCP emissions. Other factors include stakeholder involvement, risk awareness, policy alignment, organizational capacity, cost-effectiveness, and gender inclusion. Proposals must meet at least Score 1 on the OECD DAC gender equality marker.
