PUR introduced to community in Kratie and Stung Treng

Access to clean drinkable water is a challenge to many rural communities in Cambodia. Those that live along the Rivers, dams, flooded or natural disaster areas are vulnerable to diseases affected by water such as diarrhea, cholera and typhoid. One innovative way to address this problem is a small piece of technology called PUR that purifies water. This product has been introduced by Trailblazer Cambodia Organization and supported by The WorldFish Center -Greater Mekong Region Office.

How Community Produced Media Can Help Local People Share and Learn more about the Changes to Village Life on the Mekong

Workshop Local partners of the Wetlands Alliance and their local communities in Northeast Cambodia, in Kratie and Stung Treng, have organized a community produced media (CPM) team, which is supported and backstopped by the WorldFish Center. The teams were established in 2010 and consist of Salaphoum researchers and local NGO partner staff. The teams believe that CPM can play a very important role in documenting experiences of local issues such as climate change to disseminate their stories to a wider audience. The CMP teams in Stung Treng and Kratie are coordinated by the Culture and Environment Preservation Association (CEPA) and the Community Economic Development (CED) respectively, have been trained to produce their own films. However, they recently made a request to WorldFish Center for more support in the planning of participatory videos.

The Wetlands Alliance 2009 - 2015

The Wetlands Alliance is a process of regional collaboration to strengthen local-level capacity for sustainable, poverty focused wetlands management.

Intended to be a complement to more traditional regional initiative and support regional organisations working in South East Asia, the Alliance is firmly rooted at the local level and is driven by the local partners, whilst regional partners provide technical and managerial backstopping.
