The Policy and Institutional Review (PIR) for Cambodia assesses past and present institutional arrangements and finance policies for biodiversity, and pinpoints practical finance solutions for effective conservation and management. Guided by the BIOFIN Workbook (2018), the PIR blends (1) a desk review of biodiversity-related laws, policies and strategies with (2) consultative workshops across key sectors. The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP)—with 498 actions across 24 themes, implemented by an inter-ministerial working group —anchors the analysis and aligns with Aichi Targets (2015–2020). As the NBSAP is not costed, the PIR informs BIOFIN’s feasible finance mechanisms, project proposals, and finance plans to mobilize resources for Cambodia’s biodiversity.
