The Asia Foundation (TAF) is a nonprofit international development organization committed to improving lives across a dynamic and developing Asia. Informed by seven decades of experience and deep local expertise, our work across the region addresses five overarching goals—strengthen governance, empower women, expand economic opportunity, increase environmental resilience, and promote regional cooperation.
Supported by the Australian Government, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Development (CAPRED) and The Asia Foundation are collaborating on an 18-month program called CAPRED-Insight. CAPRED-Insight will work to increase the supply of, and demand for, evidence related to micro, small and medium businesses. A Cambodia Business Environment Barometer (CBEB) (workstream 1) will provide high resolution information as to the situation of Cambodia’s micro, small and medium enterprises, nationally and across five provinces. The Foundation will complement this large sample research with a smaller qualitative research study of businesses that are owned by people with a disability, in partnership with CSOs that support people with disabilities.
CAPRED-Insight workstream 2 involves a partnership with Cambodia’s Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MISTI), is piloting a "Knowledge Partnership to Improve Business Registration." This initiative seeks to enhance evidence use and support policy reform activities related to business registration and the informal economy. By working collaboratively with MISTI, the project aims to generate actionable insights and strengthen their capacity to collate, analyze, and commission research while testing innovative approaches to improve business registration processes.
