COMPED training center, proposed to be used as a location for environmental trainings was constructed by EU financial support through AsiaEcoProgramme 2004-2006.
On 28th December 2009, COMPED in cooporation with Ministry of Environment (MOE), supported by UNIDO, organized second training for one day on health and environmental impact caused by dioxin and furan. The training was held for one day, all rang of waste pickers are invited to join for the training and instructed by expert from MOE. Dioxin and furan is one of emissions of POPs from open burning dumpsite. By the reports from Stockholm Convention on Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) we strongly mention with 21 harmful chemicals including dioxin and furan. Dioxin and furan came out from 3 main points :
- smoke containing dioxin and furans is emitted during incomplete burning of waste.
- ahes from burning remain on the ground and are washed away by rain.
- leachate contaminate other fields, cultivations and well water.
The end of the training, participants are actived in absorbing new knowledge and understanding with the emissions from Dioxin and Furan that is effected to daily living and they can absorb new knowledge how to protect their health from Dioxin and Furan. The training also shared to the waste picker with boots, gloves amd masks during the training.   |

On November 27th 2009 Comped in cooperation with logal partner ITC organized a workshop at Solarschool,COMPED training center. The workshop focus on sustainable energy using in Cambodia, nowaday we use the diesel, gasoline… These factor affect to the environment and economic. In rural area, the people got only a little light, energy, however we haven’t got any result for the power of Renewable Energy.
The level of education for such that solar still little. As a result, solar using for 20 years but can’t use for such this period because of the lack of education for operation and maintaining so hat is why we run the solar school for educate the people. We train the people , Dr. Norith from ITC train bout solar .
The potential user use the renewable energy: when we trained them, we have the material, book, foil, practical material, and we make the trainee apply directly with P. V case. And during the instruction e also have the poster, operation and maintenance benefit, which are the man part of level 3. For the Basic nowledge, we instruct them as the requirement of the trainee and we lead them to the practical place. n conclusion: COMPED still keep in touch with the expert institution such as Solar Energy, Biogas plant and n the future we still cooperate with ITC, NBP, and COMPED is the supported from DGS.
