Cambodia is located in southeast Asia and is bordered by Thailand on the west, Laos on the north, Viet Nam east and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. Cambodia has a population of 16,493,000. Kampong Chhnang is a city with a population of 41,000 people, located 91 kilometers north of Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia containing a population 2.6 million. The Province of Kampong Chhnang has a population of 527,027 Cambodia is 1/3 the size of France. It has a large rural population compared to many other countries and the population is also quite young, when it is compared to other countries. (source: Google Wikipedia- 2019 census).

The SAORI organization has requested Catalyste+ to assist them with their business needs.

The business strategies or Business Plans have a vision and mission, with goals and objectives and they should contain actions to help to achieve the mission. The Strategic approach as follows:

The manner of proceeding to implement the strategic plans to follow a path as follows:

SOARI officials and the Catalyste+ VA held a SWOT session on April 10, 2022.

Considerable discussion took place with the SAORI staff members (5) and a recorder.

The results are show in the chart which follows:

The Executive Director handles all functions which include staff member leadership and marketing and promotion, partnership coordination, due diligence and book-keeping. Transportation/ product distribution functions are through motorbike delivery, through mail or contracted out independently, and the contracted services are a high cost to the organization. If the organization were able to purchase a truck for deliveries, over the long-term, there may be savings for the shipping costs, as an alternative to this outsourcing. The workload is heavy for the Executive Director and an Administrative Assistant position would greatly assist in reducing the high workload for the Director.

In the future, more business expansion is desired for the operation. That would mean increasing the production of the weaving products currently produced or diversifying and finding new production lines or service functions for the organizations. Accommodating a larger workforce through incorporating more persons with disabilities as part of the business will be necessary to accomplish SAORI aspirations for the future.

That may include SAORI taking on new functions and expanding its current role. SAORI could become a “go-to agency” for finding employment for persons with disabilities and they may maintain a roster of potential individuals who may be suitably employed in certain employment sectors. Waste recycling seems to be a challenging issue in Kampong Chhnang and in Cambodia. In some other countries, recycling centers employ persons with disabilities (such as those with autism and downs syndrome) to sort and package recyclable products. SAORI could pursue involvement in the recycling field, and work with the current recycling contractor and perhaps the Ministry of Environment in this regard. Disabled persons in wheelchairs may easily work at desktop computers and perform IT functions and SAORI could act as an agent to promote training and employment opportunities for persons confined to wheelchairs who have physical disabilities.

Actions:

• SAORI to maintain the current governance structure
• After completion of this report, implement this report as a business plan with framework for business expansion, including new initiatives.
• Business expansion or new opportunities to be explored, include:
  -current weaving items and handicrafts
  -a role for channeling training and employment for people with disabilities
  -a recycling and sorting facility with employment of physically challenged individuals, recruited by SAORI
  -training of persons with physical disabilities who are confined to a wheelchair, in IT computer functions (including assistance with job placement)
• Expansion priorities be established and a monitoring and evaluation process be in place (see below) to ensure there is execution of measures needed to improve and expand SAORI functions.

Actions:

• SAORI organization to include provisions relating to Human Resources and maintain:
  -work safety and regular living wages and health benefits
  -a respectful workplace, without bullying, harassment or abuse taking place; clients relationship and in the workplace generally.
  -gender fairness and treatment through training (access to resources), the capacity to participate in decisions (woman’s agency) and policies and actions (enabling environment) in this regard.
  -the fair treat and opportunities for peoples with disabilities of all kinds.
  -no exploitation of child labour. (laws of Cambodia need to be followed)
  - training programs through an NGO or through educational institutes in Cambodia may be requested
  -peer Counselling would assist in the full development of the persons with disabilities
  -performance guidance and appraisal by the Executive Director, on an interval basis.

It should be noted that other international agencies, through their work in Cambodia, have also positively impacted SAORI and the work they do. The UNDP - United Nations Development Program, Australian Aid and Unicef assisted in the production of manuals regarding accessibility standards - pertaining to accessible adaptations streets sidewalks, public places and buildings. These standards need to be implemented and mandated by governments in Cambodia, and also be implemented through private developments which occur. Several banks in Cambodia have already demonstrated leadership in this regard.

Actions:

-SAORI to communicate, coordinate and execute its business services working with the key long-standing partners and agencies in sectors where networks are beneficial.

-SAORI to forge new strategic alliances with identified partners aimed at achieving the supports needed in this report to expand the SAORI organization and make it sustainable (refer to page 21 - Fund-raising and Donor Requests). Each project will require assembling a best suited team of partners

-SAORI partnerships, where possible, be formalized through contractual. arrangements or letters of understandings to demonstrate a binding commitment. Attempts be made to forge long-term relations through formalizing binding commitments, to avoid complacency.

-To contribute to on-going visibility and communications, SAORI to maintain a newsletter and an Annual Report to be made available for stakeholders and partners.

FINANCIAL REPORT INCOME+ % Change from Previous Year (Tracking Procedure Example)

EXPENDITURES

Action:

• SAORI should keep track year-by-year of the percentage spending in key areas as a tool for monitoring the direction and control of its spending, recognizing that spending percentages may change each year due to shifts or changes in the operation or supply chains. An example might be opening of new satellite offices, which may increase the percentage spending in that category.

Fundraising and Donor Requests

• The SAORI Board and Executive Director to continue to advance the sponsorship initiative to aid and assist persons with disabilities. (Board Chair)
• SAORI should pursue government assistance and donors from international or Cambodian sources to assist them with the financing for business development and potential expansions.
• SAORI needs to develop a fundraising strategy and develop carefully articulated, professional proposals to donors or to Government agencies. Follow the strategic approach as shown in the graph below.

• SAORI needs to develop a fundraising strategy and develop carefully articulated, professional proposals to donors or to Government agencies. Follow the strategic approach as shown in the graph below.SAORI to request assistance from Catalyste+ for a person with fundraising expertise, who could conduct an assignment for:
  -the development of a fundraising campaign
  -an approach to request funding (template request + coaching on donor requesting)

Benevalent Contribution to Finances - Um Amraroth and Family

The SAORI Organization in Kampong Chhnang would not be possible without the financial contributions, dedication and leadership exhibited by the Executive Director, Um Amraroth. Donations, grants and assistant received by SAORI have been sporadic and unpredictable. Um Amraroth was a polio victim herself and became a school teacher. Through teaching and tutoring Um Amraroth has continually provided supplementary, and often “the lions share” of SAORI funding through money she earns from in her second job as a part-time teacher, aside from the work she does for SAORI.

The parents of Um Amraroth have also donated land and a building for the offices for SAORI, including areas for the weaving work they do and for part-time teaching. Expansion of SAORI will require office renovations and expansions. There are no costs accruing to SAORI for use of the facility. This has been a benevolent contribution by the family.

It is hoped that a model of funding can be established where SAORI business revenue can sustain the organization and reduce the burden which is currently for the most part, in the hands of one person. Some predictable donor funding to assist business expansion is needed immediately to get SAORI on this track.

Estimated Budget(The Budget prices are estimated; prices may increase or decrease)

Actions:

• SAORI to maintain an update inventory of its assets and create a plan for supplies + equipment replacement over time
• SAORI to maintain a budget for the maintenance of its assets and include in that budget funds for replacement or updating of its offices and equipment and vehicles over time, allowing for continued, efficient operation.

Actions:

• Pricing Strategy-SAORI to establish a pricing strategy. This to be based on the cost of acquiring the product, fairly established labour costs, production costs, packaging materials, transportation costs and a margin of profit. Prices may be established on a two-tier basis:
  　　a.) domestic rates
  　　b.) international rate + export component (tourism)

The strategy to be reviewed at least every year, considering any cost changes in the supply chain and comparing with the rates offered by the competition.

• Product Strategy- SAORI to develop special supply options to fit the desires of the customer (large volume, small volume, customer pick-up vs. delivery to the customer).

Future Expansion-It is possible that with expansion, satellite office distribution centers may be set up in other regions throughout Cambodia.

Actions:

• A Marketing and Branding Strategy should be developed.
• SAORI may approach Catalyste+ (or another agency) to request an assignment to refresh the current marketing and branding in place.
• There may be a need for a second assignment request to identify where and how to market the tourism promotions (ie. assistance with IT for social media / website venues).
• An appropriate slogan to compliment the logo in place, should be consistently applied for use through the marketing.
• All communications by websites, social media or hard copy material should consistently have applied.
• Product packaging and labeling should be consistent in all references.

Actions:

• SAORI should apply consistent best practices in customer service
• SAORI should provide regular information on customer service to sales representatives involved with the marketing and sales of the products
• On-line customer service training to be undertaken by SAORI member staff, through a site, similar tosuperhost.ca in Canada
• A survey of the tourists should be offered so that feedback is provided from both product satisfaction and customer service.

Actions:

• SAORI shall ensure that provisions for safety and security of clients and disabled member workers and all are in place.
• SAORI plans to use contracted security guard s for premises protection
• SAORI to provide appropriate security of company assets the use of cameras and locked entry gates to continue.
• Insurance shall be provided to compensate for losses.

Actions:

• SAORI should provide training for staff in the following areas:
  -weaving production processes
  -environmental management, particularly recycling, energy and water management
  -customer service
  -IT functions and use of computers / data management
  -other areas which may be identified
• SAORI may partner with training institutes or organizations in Cambodia, to part-take in internet on-line training programs, as necessary.
• SAORI undertake a new role - become a clearing house for a potential workforce to be steered to work opportunities in areas such as weaving and handicrafts, IT computer functions, recycling and sorting and towards other areas which may be identified.

Actions:

• SAORI to explore ways to ensure internet -wifi services are available in rural or remote areas when needed.
• SAORI to lobby the national government and internet service companies to provide reliable infrastructure and ensure it is in place for the provision of the internet services in all areas.

Action:

• SAORI to continue to advocate for more rapid action for the completion of accessibility throughout Kampong Chhnang, so it is a high priority for property owners and governments.
• SAORI to strive to see Kampong Chhnang become a 100% accessible community.
• That strong efforts be made to seek external sources of funding such as from international NGO’s and Governments abroad.

The Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Embassy of Japan, GIZ implemented 3RproMar Project and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) organized the 3rd National Forum on “Combatting Plastic Pollution in Cambodia” earlier this month.

This forum brought together more than 250 people from the government, development partners and NGOs, the private sector, academia, and the arts. The main purposes were to share Cambodia’s efforts to combat plastic pollution, to feature creative awareness-raising initiatives, and to introduce innovative circular businesses for tackling plastic pollution.

Cambodia’s recent rapid economic and population growth has drastically increased plastic waste, with many negative impacts on Cambodia’s environment and public health.

Choup Paris, Under Secretary of State, Ministry of Environment stated that “To tackle plastic pollution, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) through MoE and line ministries implemented measures to promote the 4Rs (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) with active involvement of citizens, private sector, and NGOs.”

MsAlissar Chaker, Resident Representative, UNDP Cambodia highlighted that, “plastic pollution has become a planetary crisis, which requires joint action by all countries regardless of income level, taking into consideration the entire lifecycle of plastic from design to production, trade, consumption, and eventually waste management (collection, disposal, and recycling)”.

Echoing her, TaninaiIchitomo, Minister, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Japan affirmed that “We urgently need circular solutions to respond to the plastic crisis, through reducing the consumption and production of single-use plastics, and reusing and recycling plastics. The draft sub-decree on plastic management will be a game changer by laying the critical foundation for future directions in plastic management.”

Stefan Messerer, Ambassador of Germany further emphasized that “Tackling the environmental challenge such as plastic pollution cannot be solved by a single party. It requires close partnerships for collaborative innovation and knowledge sharing among governments, development organizations, private sector, and civil society”.

Paris, the Under Secretary of State, Ministry of Environment concluded that “the Ministry is deeply committed to making Cambodia, its cities, waterways, and landscapes clean and free from plastic pollution. I invite everyone present to join our collective effort to preserve the cleanliness, natural beauty and diversity of our beloved country.” UNDP

South Africa celebrated International Day of People with Disability on the 3rd of December, which also marks the beginning of the Disability Awareness Month. In honour of this, here is a short write-up of our recent visit to the Orion Organization, who works closely with our partner Kaytech, to uplift the people with disabilities in the Atlantis area.

Having a job, despite the usual Monday morning complaints, is something most of us take for granted. It’s easy to overlook the crucial role employment can play in fostering independence, self-esteem and social integration - especially for people with disabilities, like those working at the Orion Organization in the Western Cape. For these folks, being provided the opportunity to work has opened up a world of opportunity.

Founded in 1982, the Orion Organization focuses on caring and providing for the educational, training and therapeutic needs of children, youth and adults living in the Atlantis area with physical, mental, intellectual and neurological disabilities. The Organization is committed to developing people with disabilities, and therefore provide employment embedded with opportunities for training, skill development and self-growth. Their caring for and skills development of people with disabilities is facilitated through a variety of care facilities and structured programs that encourage and develop each person to the best of their individual abilities.

Bidim is made of 100% recycled PET called rPET from cooldrink bottles

One of the notable partnerships Orion holds is with Kaytech, a geotextile manufacturing company and key PETCO partner. Kaytech manufactures various geotextile products, including Bidim, which is made of 100 per cent recycled PET (rPET) from post- consumer cooldrink bottles. Bidim is an industrial product used in various applications from erosion control against tidal action, to separation in railway applications, to subsoil drainage in roads and homes.

This partnership sees the people of Orion folding and packaging the Bidim for Kaytech’s final distribution to customers. Hannl Cronje, CEO of Orion Organization, says they are extremely proud of the work the partnership produces.

Fulfilment, confidence and a sense of purpose from constructive work

“We provide the perfect environment for the clean packaging of Bidim,” says Cronje. “The people that are working in this program get fulfillment, confidence, and have sense of purpose from the work. It is an opportunity for them to be able to contribute to their community and gain valuable skills while doing so.”

PETCO applauds Kaytech and Orion for this meaningful partnership, which tangibly demonstrates the far-reaching benefits of recycling - not only for the environment, but also towards social and economic upliftment.

Cronje concludes, “We believe it is vital that we continue to provide meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities to be part of the workforce.”

The revised Act on Employment Promotion of Persons with Disabilities went into effect last spring, but only 48.8 percent of companies have met the requirement to have disabled persons occupy 2 percent of their workforce.

Meanwhile, disabled employees at one company headquartered in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, are proving themselves effective workers and could spur other companies to hire more disabled staff.

At FP Corp., a disposable food container manufacturer, disabled persons -- including those with mental disabilities -- make up 14.56 percent of its workforce. Its Kanto recycling plant in Yachiyo, Ibaraki Prefecture, has 24 disabled employees, including at least one with a major disability, and all of them are on permanent-employee contracts with FPCO Ducks Co., a subsidiary of FP Corp.

Food containers collected from supermarkets and schools arrive one after another on conveyor belts at the plant, in total numbering around one million a day. Those that cannot be recycled, such as ones with metal foil or ones that are too dirty, are found and removed by the workers.

Kimiko Nishimura, an executive at FP Corp., says the disabled employees "excel at sorting out the items and in their ability to focus. They are more accurate than machines. They work for us regardless of the level of their disability."

Kotaro Nakamura, a section leader at FPCO Ducks, says that at first, perhaps because they were not accustomed to working, the disabled employees would wander off from their post and hide in the factory, forcing him to sometimes chase after them. But after around three months of careful training, they became capable of working effectively. He says they understand when he teaches them that the work is a team effort and that productivity will fall if there are too many stoppages along the line. He also says that having veteran disabled employees teach the new ones leads to better training.

Each of the employees sets their own productivity targets, and this serves to motivate them. Production line leaders are also chosen from among the workers to assist the supervisor.

"Some employees want to become leaders, and this boosts motivation," says Nakamura.

Similarly, at two other FP Corp.-affiliated factories in Bando, Ibaraki Prefecture, disabled persons are the backbone of the workforce. One of the plants, FPCO Ai Pack Co., is a "type-A continued employment support workplace," meaning that it hires people who have a difficult time finding employment at corporations at at least the minimum wage. There, nine disabled people quickly put together and inspect bento boxes.

Junko Yamamoto, who is in charge of service management at the factory, says, "As they got used to the job, one person would begin doing the work that previously took two people to do." The machinery has a safety button that can be activated in the event of an accident, but as disabled people generally do not deviate from the set procedure they have learned, there have been no accidents to date.

FP Corp. began employing disabled persons in 1986. A group called "Ahiru no Kai," comprising parents of intellectually disabled children, asked the company to create employment opportunities for their family members. The company proceeded with the goal not of employing disabled people out of sympathy, but of making them a primary workforce at the factories. Communicating with the workers and giving them responsibility over a range of work gave them motivation, which raised efficiency, which led back to more responsibilities, feeding back into a positive cycle.

Partly due to labor shortages, more companies are looking to employ more disabled people. Ten companies participated in a job fair for people with disabilities in Akihabara, Tokyo, in November last year. A representative for Japan Post Bank Co. said, "We want to have the disabled work for us for a long time, so this opportunity to explain to them and exchange ideas with them is valuable." The disabled jobseekers asked questions like, "Can I work in a wheelchair?" and "Is there a bed to lie on if I feel like I'm going to fall down?"

According to Litalico Inc., a Tokyo-based company that supports the disabled and held the job fair, a growing number of firms are enthusiastic about hiring people with disabilities, evidenced by the many inquiries it receives about hiring disabled employees. "We call on progressive companies to hire disabled employees and create models that will inspire other companies to do the same," a Litalico representative says.

Shigeyasu Tanimoto, general-secretary for a labor union specializing in disabled employees, says, "For both people with and without disabilities, there is meaning in working as an independent adult." He adds, "The number of companies employing the legally set ratio of disabled persons is slowly increasing, but there is still far to go. The government needs to set up consultation centers for both companies and disabled workers on this issue, and provide long-term funding.
