People-centric projects are top priority for JICA in the Kingdom
Mon, 15 March 2021
The government’s goal of Cambodia becoming a high middle-income country by 2030 before reaching high-income status by 2050 could well become a reality given Cambodia’s stellar economic growth of 7.3 per cent over a decade, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, these ambitious targets can only be achieved by diversifying the Kingdom’s domestic economy and by developing human capital to support growth.
Towards this, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has played a critical role in assisting the socio-economic development of Cambodia.

STEM education prepares students for Industry 4.0
Tue, 22 December 2020
Cambodia will partner with 17 other countries around the world to train teachers, educate students and develop local expertise in fields and careers related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (known collectively as STEM).
The broad purpose of these efforts is to help prepare the next generation of Cambodian youth for work in what is known conceptually as “Industry 4.0,” or the fourth industrial revolution, wherein traditional sectors such as manufacturing will be augmented through digitalisation and the use of information technology.
Royal Academy of Cambodia president Sok Touch told The Post on December 21 that Cambodian representatives had met with delegates from countries around the world, including the US, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.
