On 01 March 2023, the German embassy in the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia invited representatives from international donor organisations to a luncheon at the Hyatt-Regency in Phnom Penh.
The aim of this event was to connect these donor organisations with the Build4People project, particularly in regard of the Implementation Phase scheduled from 2025-2027.
In the presence of Dr. Heike Bauer from DLR Project Management Agency (Build4People funding agency on behalf of the German Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF), members of Build4People introduced about its people-led transdisciplinary solution-based research approach and presented first ideas how donor organisations could start a collaboration with the project.
This was followed by a Q&A session which also revealed challenges to bring together trans-disciplinary research approaches with donor implementation approaches.
