Cambodian Craft Cooperation
Who we are
Small business for development
|
Weaving and wearing silk
continues to be an expression of
Cambodia's deeply-rooted
cultural and social traditions,
with specific patterns worn on
special occasions. Takeo
Province is known for its
skillful silk weavers, primarily
women. However, their lack of
awareness of their products'
value and knowledge of and
access to national and
international markets has left
them with only a fraction of the
profit generated. The Cambodian
Craft Cooperation was set up in
1997 to address this issue.
|
 |
What we do
With the help of the International Trade
Center (ITC) of the United Nations in Geneva
and the Handwerkskammer Koblenz (Chamber of
Skilled Crafts of Koblenz, Germany) we
provide support to small and family-run
craft enterprises to improve their capacity
in technical aspects and operations.
|
Working with a
number of international partners
since 2003 in a number of silk
weaving villages, we address the
weavers' needs and constraints on
supply, production and sales. We do
this through community building and
enabling the weavers to deliver high
quality products that meet market
requirements.
In cooperation with our
international partners, we have
carried out activities such as
marketing support, workshops on
micro-enterprises and craft design,
training on technology and
management, and participation in
trade fairs and exhibitions at home
and abroad. We have also supported
the establishment of 12
multifunctional craft centers in
different provinces including silk
weaving in Takeo and silversmithing
in Kampong Luong.
