CPI's Theory of Change
- The Cambodia Project believes if rural, secondary school age children
have access to high quality educational resources and better trained
teachers, then they will have greater job and higher educational
opportunities which, in turn, will stimulate both economic and
community development.
Encouraged
by the support of local governments, The Cambodia Project works in collaboration
with communities to provide innovative and replicable school models,
high quality transformative educational resources, and better trained
teachers in both the public and private education systems that ultimately offer students increased opportunity.
In addition to an excellent standard of education, we offer comprehensive healthcare programs and green technology for school construction and maintenance. Based on this model, each school will become financially self-reliant and locally
managed after year four.
CPI is committed to building secondary schools in Kep municipality and
Kampot province, three hours drive south of the capital Phnom Penh. We will provide secondary-level education opportunities and inclusive
development programs that would not otherwise be available to children in
these rural areas.
Inclusive education is founded
on the idea of education that is accessible to any individual regardless of
gender, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
CPI will employ
educators from a pool of qualified public school teachers in the region and recruit
new graduates from the local teacher training colleges, providing employment
opportunities in an otherwise narrow job market. One-third of teachers will be hired
part-time from neighboring public schools to supplement their income. Leadership training and teacher professional development programs will be conducted in order to enhance the long-term impact of CPI
employees on its students and the surrounding community.
Sary Mam on 12 Mar 09Sustainable Road Safety Solutions Sustainable solutions There is a range of sustainable solutions available that can promote road safety in regeneration areas. This chapter identifies the key interventions and indicates in what situations they are deemed suitable. In road safety terms a sustainable solution is one where as a result of the road layout: * Speeds are controlled appropriately without the need for enforcement. * Vehicle - pedestrian - cycle conflict is minimised. * All road users are treated with equal importance. * Accessibility is maintained or enhanced. There follows a series of design elements which could be incorporated into road design. It must be recognised that there will be essential differences between the design of road safety features on existing roads and new build roads. Good design will be built into new roads whereas there may be a need to superimpose retrospectively features on existing roads which for financial and practical reasons would not be consistent with the layout of a new build. Traffic calming measures Research has shown that human error is the largest single contributing factor in road accidents and that vehicle speed is a significant factor in about one third of accidents. Traffic calming is considered as a major element along with speed limits, education and enforcement in influencing human behaviour, vehicle speeds and the number of road accidents. photo In Europe many countries, notably Germany and The Netherlands, have invested heavily in urban traffic calming schemes over the last two decades and Britain has been able to gain valuable knowledge from these continental projects. The main objectives of traffic calming include: * improvement of street safety; * reduce road accidents; * discourage the use of unsuitable routes by heavy vehicles and through traffic; * improvement of the street environment; * improvement of conditions for vulnerable road users; * reduce noise, d
