Call for Submissions
Solid Waste Management (SWM) in Cambodia is still largely dominated by the informal sector, specifically waste pickers, who’s largely contribute to waste management through collecting, sorting and trading. By exploring the possibility of integrating informal sector into solid waste management system in Cambodia through partnership and collaboration, it can provide an opportunity for the informal workers to thrive in the waste management supply chain. KAS Cambodia, together with our partners will organize the Waste Summit Cambodia 2022 on 13th August 2022 to bring together executives working within German Business Group, local waste management organizations, line departments, and other relevant non-governmental organizations and communities from all sectors across Cambodia. The aim is to create a sustainable dialogue and to create a platform to enable future partnerships between problem-solver, investors, start-ups and other relevant actors.
In line with the Waste Summit, KAS Cambodia, in partnership with VitaminAir and KOOMPI would like to announce the Open Call for Submissions for the KASPOP Photo Contest. We believe everyone has their own way of contributing to the better solid waste management in Cambodia. Therefore, we want to ask “How do you manage your solid waste?” to all the young Cambodians out there. The objective of the photo contest is to encourage people to participate in learning and contributing to the solid waste management in Cambodia through simple methods such as sharing of inspiring photos that can reflect meaningful message.
