Planète Enfants & Développement (PE&D) recrute un chargé de projet, Phnom Penh, Cambodge

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (INDEPENDENT CONSULTING SERVICES – CONSULTANT SELECTION)

Planète Enfants & Développement (PE&D), founded in 1984, is an apolitical and non-denominational international solidarity association dedicated to vulnerable children in order to offer them the necessary conditions for their well-being and development, by working with local actors and families. PE&D is present in 4 countries, Cambodia, Vietnam, Nepal and Burkina Faso

Garment factories in Cambodia provide jobs to nearly 700,000 people, approximately 90% of whom are women. Many garment workers travel long distances to work each day. Many of these workers are women with young children and face challenges for daily care. Traditional Caregivers, typically illiterate grandparents, are often the only affordable childcare option. However, they are not well-equipped to provide adequate education, stimulation, and nutrition to young children.

In Cambodia, there are no public daycare services and very few functional factory daycare centers. Private daycare services are available and growing in urban areas but are not financially accessible for most garment factory workers. The average cost of private daycare in Cambodia is $100/month for 1 child, while a garment factory worker’s monthly base wage is around $180. This community-based childcare project will first focus on Kampong Speu province, and in Kompong Cham, as the area hosts a high concentration of garment factories whose workers live in their own communities and can participate in community-based services. The project aims to build and run 22 (twenty-two) day care centers in these provinces and targets 625 garment factory workers and their children and families. Each day care center will welcome 25 children.
