BTDC-ID: 41302 CLOSING DATE: 11-Sep-2026 Expected Outputs Consultancy for Financing Pathway and Actor Mapping, Senmonorom CWIS Plan Contact Details OFFICE ADDRESS #10bis, St.430, Sangkat Phsar Daeum Thkov, Khan Chamkar Mon, Phnom Penh, Cambodia CONTACT NAME Vira Riel, Project Manager PHONE 012 394 760 EMAIL TO: vira@esc-cambodia.org CC: opasith@borda-sea.org CC: noka@borda.org Announcement Description BORDA e.V. and Environmental Sanitation Cambodia (ESC) implement the BMZ-financed project "Decentralised Water and Sanitation Solutions for Small Towns in Cambodia and Laos" (2026–2028).
Under Output 3, ESC is preparing a City-Wide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) plan for Senmonorom, Mondulkiri Province.
The plan is expected to be endorsed by the municipality in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The problem this assignment addresses is the step from an endorsed plan to committed financing.
Comparable planning documents in Cambodia have not converted into investment: a feasibility study and proposal for a faecal sludge treatment plant in Battambang, at an order of magnitude of USD 7 million, has been without a financier for four to five years, and other agencies are likewise seeking funding for treatment infrastructure.
An endorsed plan that does not reach financing has limited value to the municipality and does not demonstrate the approach the project is intended to promote.
A working assumption of this assignment is that the most probable route to financing a municipal sanitation investment in Cambodia is not an international grant, but the public investment planning cycle — provincial and municipal investment plans, sub-national funds and the national capital budget — potentially in combination with loan-financed programmes and with grant or corporate co-financing for specific components.
The assignment must therefore treat the public financing route as a work package in its own right and not as a secondary option.
A separate assignment (reference BORDA-SEA/2026/ESC-01) provides the independent technical review of the plan.
This assignment does not review the plan’s technical content.
