Organizational Background: The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mandate of UNIDO is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition. The responsibility of UNIDO’s Environment Department (ENV) is to contribute to inclusive and sustainable industrial development by improving the environmental performance, resource productivity and safety of existing, as well as by supporting the creation of new industries providing environmental goods and services. Project Context: The proposed project on low-carbon development for productivity and climate change mitigation through the Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technology (TEST) methodology aims to reduce the long-term risks of climate change and to support Cambodia in its efforts to achieve the objectives outlined in its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC). In this regard the current project preparation phase seeks to complete the project document for CEO Endorsement to the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The intended project will combine policy and advocacy elements with technology transfers in the areas where most manufacturing industries are located and present major negative environmental impacts. The TEST approach will be introduced and implemented in close consultation with the government in Phnom Penh and its surrounding areas including Kandal, Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang and the other industrialized provinces of Cambodia, mainly, Battambang, Siem Reap and Preah Sihanouk. As the garment industry dominates Cambodia's manufacturing sector, the project will focus on this industrial sector. Nevertheless, other sectors will also be involved as the TEST methodology can be applied to and adopted by all types of industries.
