Excerpt : To foster sustainability and ongoing capacity-building for ISAC’s local staff, ASEIC and its partners developed the Takeo Appropriate Technology Center. The main objective of the center is to encourage young entrepreneurs to set up small social enterprises that contribute to the well-being of people in the region.
Solar cookers are a completely new technology in Cambodia, and ISAC has great potential for marketing their “made in Cambodia” solar cookers to households, NGOs and the government.
This project attempts to integrate a bottom-up approach with a top-down method, since it not only improves capacity building but also encourages local untapped business opportunities.
