PHNOM PENH, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Ford Motor Company in partnership with RM Asia Co Limited, Ford's dealer-distributor in Cambodia, has announced a grant of 25,000 U.S. dollars in non-refundable aid to Cambodia to support new projects dedicated to conserving and preserving the environment, culture and heritage of Cambodia, local media reported on Thursday.
Parties are welcome to submit project proposals and their reasons for seeking funding, which will then be reviewed and assessed by an independent panel of judges, said Jean-Boris Roux, Country Manager for RM Asia Co at a press conference here on Wednesday.
The closing date of the application form is Nov. 10, Cambodian-language newspaper the Rasmei Kampuchea quoted him as saying.
The application forms will be judged by independent juries from Ford Motor Company and RM Asia, which will then select the projects to receive funding.
The panel comprises five leading experts from the Cambodian environmental and cultural sectors.
These well-known community leaders have distinguished themselves in their support for, and commitment to causes such as environmental protection, natural resource preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage, reported another Cambodian-language newspaper the Kampuchea Thmey.
