Overview

Kampot Saat is a five-year project commencing since 2019. Due to impacts of COVID-19, most of the project activities in 2020 and 2021 were postponed or cancelled. In 2022, we are excited and proud to announce that we are back to continue our mission to create positive impacts for Kampot in term of Saat city.

Recommendations

• Building on the achievements of the previous years, the campaign should focus on working
with public schools to promote the use of eco-friendly bottles among students since the
Provincial Department of Environment already built drinking water purify systems in many
schools in Kampot. If children have eco-friendly bottle, they can refill the drinking water at
their school and reduce plastic bottle.
• Engage private sector more actively such as restaurants and resorts along the Kampot River to
join the campaign to have a better waste management.
• Based on existing cooperation with the government in Kampot, the campaign should
strengthen the cooperation to next level and get the government jointly invested into the
campaign.
• Continue to further build a core team of Saat youth in Kampot so that they could do on-going
campaign, rather than realize on the team from Phnom Penh. • Promote dialogue among key duty bearers including sub-national government.
