Contesto |
A significant proportion (12.7%) of youth in Cambodia is currently not in education, employment or training. Vulnerability and marginalization characterize the employment experience of a large number of Cambodian young men and women, especially in rural areas. Approx. 88% of the total employed persons aged 15 or older are in informal employment and they lack relevant skills, knowledge and labour market information. Their income and employment status is highly susceptible to economic shocks. School drop-out levels are high, and a significant number of adolescents does not participate in formal or informal education at the required levels. SMEs (60% of which are led by women) are regarded as the backbone of Cambodia’s economy, constituting some 90% of all enterprises and providing approx. 70% of overall employment. However, only 12% of these enterprises are formally registered, indicating the high level of informality of the Cambodian economy. SMEs face multiple challenges, including a low level of digital literacy, limited business support and training, and limited access to finance. The capacity and resources of the government to implement strategies, such as the National Employment Policy (NEP) 2015-2025 and to effectively collaborate with the private sector are still insufficient. This consolidation phase will focus on strengthening the institutional capacity of the government and private sector partners to scale up successful activities within existing government policies and programmes, incl. a progressive increase of public budget allocations and private sector contributions to sustain the work. |
Obiettivi | More youth in Cambodia are in decent and productive employment. |
Gruppi target |
The project particularly targets low/under-skilled youth in the informal economy, school dropouts from levels 7-12, youth with disabilities, and indigenous and minority community youth. The institutional capacities of the following key government entities shall be enhanced: MLVT, MoEYS, MoT, MISTI, MEF, and MoSVY. Furthermore, the project will work with business and entrepreneurship associations as well as with other private sector representatives. |
