The skills of the work force are an important
contributor to the economic and social development of
the Kingdom of Cambodia. There is a need for continuous
expansion and improvement in work force skills to
increase the rate of economic growth. The Rectangle
Strategy is the approved national economic
development framework and the five-year National
Strategic Development Plan 2006-2010 (NSDP) is in
place to provide more detail. Both of these documents
show a commitment to skills development.
The National Training Board (NTB) has the mandate to
respond to the NSDP with a National Technical Vocational
Education and Training (TVET Development Plan (NTDP).
The Directorate General of Technical and Vocational
Education and Training (DGTVET) is required to manage
the national implementation of the NTB strategy using
the national program based budget system as the
financial mechanism. This document gives direction to
the program based budget plan of DGTVET
A first National TVET Development Plan (NTDP) was
approved by the NTB in March, 2006. This plan outlined a
two track development approach to TVET with an immediate
priority on poverty reduction. Substantial progress has
been made in implementing activities focussed on poverty
reduction over the course of the last two years. Two
financial mechanisms were in place: the National
Training Fund supported by funds of Government (now
Program Based Fund) and the Education Sector Development
Program (ESDP II) supported by a loan from the Asian
Development Bank.
