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. Currently, only 42.2% of the urban population—excluding the capital Phnom Penh—have access to piped water supply, and while 80.2% have access to improved sanitation, only 10.7% have access to sewerage and wastewater treatment...

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.
