The Asia Foundation (the Foundation) gratefully acknowledges the contributions that many individuals, organizations, and funders have made in carrying out this study on the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses and workers, which covers six countries in Southeast Asia: Cambodia, the Lao Peoples’ Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. In most cases, the Foundation collaborated with local partners in designing and carrying out each country’s survey, conducting interviews for the case studies, and analyzing the data.
For this report, which presents the research conducted in Cambodia, the Foundation would like to thank its partners, Angkor Research and Consulting, the Centre for Policy Studies, and Future Forum for their important efforts. This study also would not have been possible without the generous support of our funders. In Cambodia, this study was financed by the Foundation’s United States Congressional Appropriation; Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through Ponlok Chomnes: Data and Dialogue for Development in Cambodia; New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, through the Ambassador Fund; and Angkor Research and Consulting.
The Foundation would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the production team: Athima Bhukdeewuth (cover design and layout), Ann Bishop (technical editor), Tenzing Paljor (photographer), Sunil Pillai (data expert consultant).
This is an independent study, carried out by the Foundation’s partners. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions do not necessarily represent the views of the Foundation or our funders.
