Manulife Cambodia and Khmer Enterprise are working to strengthen financial resilience in Cambodia's informal economy through a programme delivered in Phnom Penh, Takeo and Banteay Meanchey.

The Financial Resilience Program focuses on practical tools for managing finances, preparing for setbacks and accessing basic financial protection. Its emphasis is on usable skills that participants can bring into their day-to-day financial decisions.

The initiative links financial inclusion with business resilience. Access to financial tools is one part of that work; understanding how to use them is another. The programme brings those concerns together through activities aimed at people working in the informal economy.

Manulife Cambodia and Khmer Enterprise describe workforce stability and a more resilient business environment as broader goals of the collaboration. These are aims of the programme, rather than measures of impact already established.

For CanCham's business community, the initiative highlights a member-led contribution to practical capacity-building beyond the formal workplace, with financial skills at the centre of the effort.
