Aga Khan Foundation Learns About the Integration of System of Rice Intensification and Savings for Self-Reliance in Combodia

Aga Khan Foundation Learns About the Integration of System of Rice Intensification and Savings for Self-Reliance in CombodiaFrom September 5 to 16, 2011, a team from the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), headquartered in Geneva Switzerland, toured four provinces of Cambodia where CEDAC is working – Kampong Chanang, Takeo, Kampong Speu and Kampot province. The purpose of the visit was to learn from CEDAC’s integration of SRI (System of Rice Intensification) and SfR (Savings for Self-Reliance) in Cambodia. Since its inception, CEDAC’s integrated approach to economic development has supported increased access to financial services in rural villages and increased access to information on agricultural technologies such as SRI and chicken rearing. CEDAC’s approach has enabled many villages to diversify their incomes and become more food secure.
