Success case replication model in Cambodia

With 80% of Cambodians living in rural areas and most do not have access to formal sector jobs such as those in Phnom Penh. WRF in partnership with the International Labour Organization coordinates a rural employment initiative. The Success Case Replication (SCR) project is based on an apprenticeship model, whereby successful entrepreneurs mentor people with disabilities who are interested in pursuing careers similar to that of the mentor. For example, trainees are learning skills necessary for soymilk production, motorbike repair, hair cutting or raising chickens.

Over 230 people with disabilities in Cambodia have been trained and are now establishing small businesses through the WRF/ILO initiative.
