Prestige is pleased to co-manage the Cambodia Development Support Unit (CDSU) with Development Pathways Ltd. CDSU is a new AUD 21.12 million eight-year program (initial 4-year contract from 2025-2029, with extension option of 4-years to 2033), funded by Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The goal is to support Cambodia’s sustainable growth into a resilient upper-middle income country that delivers inclusive growth for all Cambodian citizens.
The program objective is to raise the quality of programming and improve the efficiency of Australia’s development cooperation portfolio in Cambodia. To achieve this, CDSU consists of two pillars:
the Aid Advisory Services pillar will procure local and international advisers to provide technical advice to the Australian Phnom Penh Embassy (Post) on development programming and priority thematic areas (such as gender equality, disability, social inclusion, climate, localisation, and governance, among others). This will include Long-Term Advisers (LTAs) embedded at Post and Short-Term Advisers providing targeted/ad hoc support; and
the Aid Enabling Services pillar will procure other non-advisory services and expertise to rapidly respond to emerging development needs identified by Post. This may include grants management (to local CSOs), capacity building (trainings, study tours etc.), strategic communications and events management, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) services.
