Building Peace Villages through Integrated Community Rural Development

Clean and safe water supplies reduce the time needed to collect water. This allows children to attend school and parents, particularly mothers, to have more time to generate income for their families. Safe, private toilets and handwashing facilities with soap keep children and families free from disease.

Feed the Future Cambodia Rice Field Fisheries 2 Rice field fisheries (RFF) are the fishing done in and around rice fields particularly during the flood season and are a vital source of income and nutrition for Cambodia’s poor farmers. To increase productivity and maintain the biodiversity of wild fish in RFF, this project works in the Tonle Sap floodplain of Cambodia to improve the management of community fish refuges (CFR).CFRs are bodies of water that protect wild fish during dry periods and give them a good place to breed, spawn and grow. They help maintain and increase fish numbers in rice fields and support the livelihoods of many Cambodian people.Building on Phase I, this follow-up project focuses on replicating and scaling up best practices for CFR management, including efficient water use and integration with food crops, and promoting the nutritional benefits of consuming fish.
