Sam Ly and Phan Channa join Femy Pinto as NTFP-EP’s country programme support team, opening a project and network office in Phnom Penh last June. This coincides with the project partnership implementation of NTFP-EP, WWF & Community Forestry International on sustainable honey harvesting and marketing in Cambodia supported by the Netherlands Committee IUCN.

Femy Pinto, NTFP-EP Cambodia Facilitator, shares “While our space is limited, we hope that the office can serve many functions – a meeting and work area especially for our province-based network partners while they are in Phnom Penh, a display and consignment area for our partners’ NTFPs like honey and indigenous crafts, and a place to stop by for information and resource materials on NTFP livelihood development. This can only boost our networking and cooperation further.”

Welcome to the Cambodia NTFP-EP team and congratulations!
