With more than 35 years of experience, Cowater is Canada’s global leader in management consulting services specializing in international development. Cowater is managing the Australia-Cambodia Cooperation for Equitable Sustainable Services (ACCESS) Program. ACCESS is a three-year (2018-2021) initiative by the Australian Government to improve the sustainability, quality, and inclusiveness of services for persons with disabilities and for women affected by gender-based violence (GBV) in Cambodia.
ACCESS reflects Australia’s strong commitment to supporting human rights, gender equality and disability-inclusive development in our region. ACCESS works in partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to support the implementation of the National Disability Strategic Plan (NDSP) and the National Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women (NAPVAW).
Background
Improvement in physical infrastructure, means of transportation, and means of communication and equipment for persons with disabilities in Cambodia are identified as priorities under the fourth strategic objective; i.e. "Accessibility" of the NDSP 2 (2019-2023) of RGC that was launched on December 2019. In addition, the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY) and the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) issued an inter-ministerial Prakas number 248 dated 28 November 2018 to introduce the Technical Standards on the Physical Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities in Cambodia.
On September 2019, under the coordination and technical advisory role of Disability Action Council (DAC), these Technical Standards were jointly adopted and launched by MoSVY and MLMUPC. Key sections of these Standards include: Pathway and entrance; Car park environments, Building types; Facilities in buildings; and Sanitary facilities.
Objective

Target Audience
The main target audiences of these videos are public and private service providers and decision makers, especially in the areas of health, employment, vocational training, and microfinance. These videos can be used by DAC and Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) to advocate for disability inclusion in these areas.
