Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

ADB to Help Improve Water Supply, Sanitation in 4 Cities in Cambodia
9 December 2017
The FINANCIAL -- The Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Board of Directors has approved a $50 million loan to help expand and improve urban water supply and sanitation services in four of Cambodia’s largest provincial cities, all of which are important commercial, industrial, and tourist centers in the country.

ADB will also administer a $10 million grant from the Japan Fund for the Joint Crediting Mechanism, funded by the Government of Japan, to help finance a new energy-efficient wastewater treatment plant in Battambang. ADB will also administer a €40 million ($43.54 million) loan cofinancing from Agence Française de Développement (AFD), which will jointly finance the project in all four cities.

Cambodia’s urban population is accelerating at a consistent pace, with the number of people living in cities expected to reach around 30% of the country’s total by 2030. While this phenomenon has helped in the country’s growth over the last few years and the emergence of secondary cities like Battambang, Kampong Cham, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville—project cities—it also increased the need for basic urban services like water supply and sanitation.

Sewer pipes and waste treatment included in $120M water project
- The project will improve the piped water supply in Battambang and Kampong Cham, through the construction of two water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 61,600 cubic metres per day and a new 161-kilometre distribution network.

In Sihanoukville, the project will improve urban sanitation services through the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant and the construction of 37 kilometres of sewer pipelines, while a new 3.7-kilometre trunk sewer will be built in Siem Reap to reduce pollution and improve the urban environment in this international tourist destination.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $119 million, with the government contributing $10.54 million. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

If Suvarnabhumi airport just outside Bangkok took so long to complete, what a clusterf!35 these provincial projects will be in Cambodia!

I hope the strong man makes sure NO ONE takes too big a chunk out of the pie ...

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.
