The Kingdom of Cambodia is located in the tropical region of Southeast Asia in the Lower Mekong region. The physical landscape is dominated by the lowland plains around the Mekong River and the Tonle Sap Lake. Of the country area 181,040 Km2, approximately 49% remains covered by forest. There are about 2.5 million hectares of arable land and over 0.5 million hectares of pasture land. The climate in Cambodia is tropical and subject to both southeast and northwest monsoons. Cambodia has a population of around 15.1 million people, with a growth rate of about 1.8 % and an average age of the population of 19 years. [1]

[1] For lighting and small electrical appliances (e.g. mobile phone chagrining), about 1.6 million of 2.3 million rural households rely on car batteries and kerosene lighting
