More about ANZ Royal CNVLD Cambodian National Wheelchair Racing Program
From concept to reality to corporate sustainability in just three years, the CNVLD – ANZ Royal Wheelie Grand Prix programme is demonstrating that long-term partnership between local sports organisations and the corporate sector can be an effective path to sustainable sports development.
The CNVLD is the premier disability sports organisation in Cambodia, implementing the first and only National Wheelchair Racing programme, with a special focus on women and persons with a severe disability. ANZ- Royal Bank, the Cambodian subsidiary of ANZ Bank and one of Australia’s leading corporate entities, first opened in Cambodia in 2005 and has since taken a majority share of the market.
Through a successful, award winning template based on a clear formula, the CNVLD has undertaken the responsibility to deliver a high quality sporting product initially developed with international partners, including the Australian Business Volunteer (ABV) programme, and complemented by the local design and manufacture of the first Cambodian racing wheelchair. A key element to this formula is the CNVLD’s ‘We do not want charity’ approach in recognition that donor funding is a time-limited resource. Sport has immense potential to instigate social change in particular by building the discipline necessary for employment creation.
