It has a strong link to skills development under the EU Education programme and to trade related assistance under the EU GATE programme, both under the Annual Action Plan 2023 together with this action. The action aims to build a successful pilot model within the GFT sector, which could be applied in other industrial sectors to support diversification of Cambodia's economy. Key intervention areas include energy audits and factory training on sustainable energy and safe working environment practices, building national energy capacity (i.e. train relevant government officials, and support national certification programmes for energy managers and auditors), and addressing unsustainable fuelwood consumption in the GFT industry with application of digital technologies. These interventions will contribute to higher productivity and improved competitiveness of the GFT sector by reducing energy cost, reducing CO2 emissions, and creating a safer and healthier working environment for the workers. At the same time and to ensure sustainability beyond the action's life, the action will strengthen the national regulatory environment and support"}, {"bbox": [1037, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 3 of 29"}]
