CARE is committed to reducing and eventually ending extreme poverty. Women and girls in marginalized communities are at the heart of our efforts.
Project Title: PlasticSmart Cambodia
Duty Station: Phnom Penh Contract Type: Individual Consultant (part-time/intermittent) – 1 Year
CARE International is a globally recognized development organization dedicated to alleviating poverty and fostering sustainable development through strategic partnerships and evidence-based interventions. Since 1973, CARE Cambodia has implemented diverse initiatives aimed at empowering marginalized and vulnerable communities, with a particular emphasis on gender equity and environmental sustainability. Cambodia faces significant environmental challenges with plastic waste and inefficient waste management systems. The country generates over 2.2 million MT of municipal solid waste annually, with plastic accounting for 20% of waste streams. Only 11% of waste is recycled, and waste collection services cover merely 40% of urban households outside the capital and 18% in rural areas.
The PlasticSmart Cambodia project, implemented by CARE Cambodia in partnership with CARE Austria, Youth Council of Cambodia (YCC) and Independent Democracy of Informal Economy Association (IDEA), and funded by the European Union, aims to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by promoting sustainable packaging and waste management practices around garment factories in three Cambodian provinces.
The project targets food vendors around garment factories and waste management actors, including formal and informal waste collectors (edjai), to pilot sustainable business models. This research component is critical for providing evidence-based measurements of the environmental impact from these interventions. The findings will inform project decision- making, policy advocacy, and scaling strategies, demonstrating the environmental benefits of sustainable business models being piloted under the project.
The consultant will support coordination between the project and Ministry of Environment, facilitate multi-stakeholder engagement, Project Steering Committee (PSC) and Project Implementation Unit (PIU) and contribute technical inputs to policy dialogue and scaling strategies related to sustainable packaging and waste management.
The consultant will report to the Senior Project Manager and work closely with relevant government institutions and project partners.
The consultancy will be implemented over the project period on a part-time/intermittent basis, estimated at: 5 days per month equivalent or total 60 person-day. Expected to commence: June 2026.
