On July 18, ECODIT President Roula Attar moderated a panel discussion and Q&A session for a virtual Reverse Industry Day (RID) with USAID staff, hosted by USAID’s Office of Acquisition and Assistance (M/OAA) and Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), in collaboration with the Small Business Association for International Companies (SBAIC). Ms. Attar worked closely with USAID to organize the RID, in her capacity as co-chair of SBAIC’s Procurement Committee. “It was a privilege to convene small business leaders and USAID staff to discuss ways for the Agency to better leverage small business capabilities to enhance development impact across sectors and regions,” said Ms. Attar. “Industry engagement events like these contribute to strengthening partnerships and I am grateful to USAID and SBAIC for their shared commitment to effective small business utilization.” To watch a full recording of the RID, please visit the Work With USAID YouTube Channel here: https://lnkd.in/eD6F8aF5.

Last Friday, ECODIT celebrated the successful completion of the USAID Cambodia Green Future Activity. This five-year activity worked with young people to promote social and behavior change in the environmental sector. The Activity used a SBCC approach and engaged with youth leaders, social media influencers, the Royal Government of Cambodia, civil society, the private sector, and others to move the needle on environmental issues. The Activity especially focused on youth and organized over 100 students into Green Groups that planned environmental outreach, reaching thousands through events and social media. As a result, #Cambodia has seen a significant change in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward the environment. The Activity’s endline survey showed that 83% of youth now believe that biodiversity conservation, forest protection and sustainable natural resource management are important, compared to just 45% at the project’s start in 2020. The survey also showed that young people are now more than 2.5 times as likely to engage in frequent discussions with their friends about environmental issues, and nearly six times as likely to engage in discussions with family members about these issues. We can't wait to see Cambodia continue to embrace this legacy of #sustainability! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dqBh9NbC

Privileged to attend the event celebrating the completion of the first phase of construction of the Qaraoun Composting Facility. And proud of the DAWERR team and our partnership with USAID to support the Qaraoun Municipality in charting a new, local approach to solid waste management that focuses on locally managing pre-sorted recyclables and organic waste, thus diverting a significant portion of municipal solid waste away from distant landfills and creating sustainable, circular economy value chains. Many thanks to the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry for your support! Way to go Qaraoun! Way to go DAWERR! #USAID #ECODIT

In this blog from Climatelinks, learn more about how ECODIT and our partner FHI 360 are working with the youth of Cambodia to combat #ClimateChange and protect the country's rare natural resources through the USAID Cambodia Green Future Activity.
Through the Cambodia Green Future Activity, USAID supports Green Groups that bring together youth climate leaders and helps them organize environmental events and outreach. The Green Groups have been instrumental in putting together three new communications toolkits focused on combating #ClimateChange and protecting Cambodia’s natural resources: 🔹#Talk2ProtectForests focuses on reducing demand for unsustainable luxury wood furniture 🔹#Talk2ProtectOurWildlife aims to reduce consumption of wild meat 🔹#Talk2StopLittering increases awareness of the “4Rs” (refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle) Learn more in our recent blog: https://lnkd.in/eXtQShMg
