On March 19, 2026, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) and the Cambodia Women Entrepreneurs Association (CWEA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing women’s economic empowerment.

To drive this mission forward, MoWA highlighted three key pillars of the MoU: driving investment and private sector support for women-led businesses, launching joint programmes to enhance skills and market linkages, and strengthening the voice of women entrepreneurs while promoting gender-responsive business policies.

The MoU was signed following a meeting between H.E. Dr. Ing Kantha Phavi, Minister of Women’s Affairs, and a delegation from the CWEA led by the association's President, H.E. Chan Pheary.

During the meeting, the President of CWEA expressed her profound gratitude to the MoWA for their continued guidance, and for providing opportunities to help the association fulfill its mission effectively.
