1. Background
1,1 CAPRED
The CAPRED Facility is Australia’s flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia, focusing on economic recovery and resilience over the next four years, with a possible three-year extension. The Facility supports Cambodia in implementing a range of necessary economic interventions and reforms to maintain the country’s economic transition. These interventions and reforms are primarily aimed at encouraging more productive and inclusive public and private investment, which promotes a resilient, inclusive and sustainable economy (RISE).
CAPRED interventions fall under three technical components including: Agriculture and Agro-processing; Trade, Investment and Enterprise Development and Infrastructure Development; and one Cross-Cutting component comprising: Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI); Climate Resilient initiatives, and policy support. GEDSI is at the heart of all that CAPRED does.
1.2 About the Internship Program
The Internship Program for Women in Clean Energy aims to address the significant underrepresentation of women in Cambodia’s clean energy sector. Women’s participation in technical roles, especially in solar operations, remains critically low due to barriers such as limited access to technical education, societal expectations, and a lack of practical, on-the-job training opportunities.
To tackle these challenges, a 6-month internship program has been proposed to provide targeted outstanding recently graduated female graduates from the Institute of Electrical Science (IES) and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) with technical training and hands-on field experience. The objective is to address the technical skills gap and gender disparity in the clean energy sector by providing internship opportunities for young female graduates at Renewable Energy Generators – solar farms.
2 . Scope of the Intervention
2.1 Key Tasks and Activities
CAPRED seeks to engage qualified consulting firms to collaborate on the Internship Program for Women in Clean Energy, specifically with the Renewable Energy Generators – solar farms. Applicants are encouraged to propose alternative approaches or additional activities to enhance the effectiveness of the assignment.
4. Evaluation
CAPRED will use an objective and reliable process to evaluate each proposal. The proposals and responses will be evaluated based on (in no particular order):
