This grand event would hardly exist without momentous support from our partners, counting from the private sector, and business
associations, to civil society, NGOs, and international organizations. With a shared priority in making Cambodia’s development sustainable
and managing waste more effectively, the support from all relevant partners serves as a dynamic booster to make the objective of the
Waste Summit Cambodia 2024 more possible to achieve.

  • Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Cambodia (KAS) is the political think tank associated with the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU). As a CDU co-founder and the first chancellor of the Federal Republic Democratic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer united the Christian social conservative and liberal traditions. His name is synonymous with the democratic reconstruction of Germany, the firm alignment of foreign policy with the trans-Atlantic community of values, the vision of a unified Europe, and an orientation towards the social market economy. His intellectual heritage continues to serve both as our aim as well as our obligation today. KAS has been working in Cambodia since 1994. Today KAS has introduced our new objectives, which are Global Affairs and Governance, Sustainability Economy and Innovation, and Media and Society. The foundation will continue supporting Cambodian development under the new objectives. The programs within the organization are implemented closely with diverse partners coming from national as well as sub-national levels.

  • The Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC) is an ASEAN-wide competition aiming to beat plastic pollution in coastal cities in Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Lao DPR, and Cambodia by selecting innovative solutions and helping them to grow and scale up. Eight innovations took part in the EPPIC Incubator in 2023, and two finalists — TONTOTON and WELab at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia — have been part of the EPPIC Accelerator in 2024. As stakeholders work to tackle waste issues in Cambodia, EPPIC has spotlighted and uplifted exciting R&D and startup solutions that are a key piece of the puzzle.
