Enhancing the Export Performance of Cambodian Businesses
The Export Market Access Fund (EMAF) is a $1.6M co-financing facility established to support Cambodian businesses and associations to increase export sales.  EMAF provides financing to help cover the costs of the full set of eligible activities necessary to sell into export markets and increase competitiveness – from supporting research on new potential markets, to helping pay for attendance at key trade shows, or by helping to achieve required export certifications. 

EMC has been chosen to form the Management Team of EMAF, to utilise its experience in delivering business advice to private sector clients in establishing this facility. The EMC team markets the fund to prospective clients, including through provincial tours and one-on-one discussions with Cambodian businesses. In parallel, numerous qualified Business Development Service Providers are being identified to serve the needs of EMAF’s clients under its 50% matching grant scheme. Strategic partnerships with the complementary projects of other development partners are sought, with a view to achieving the best possible export results.

EMAF is funded by the World Bank and implemented by the Ministry of Commerce as part of the Trade Facilitation and Competitiveness Project and will eventually become an Exporter Technical Assistance Window within the Ministry of Commerce.
