Battambang is the capital of Battambang Province in the north-west of Cambodia. It is a commercial hub and popular tourist destination. The city faces a range of challenges related to improper waste management, flooding and pollution. At the same time, population growth, rising per capita income and changes in consumption habits are increasing the amount of waste generated. There is limited waste management capacity locally and limited environmental awareness.
