USAID launches technology programme in Cambodia

07-Dec-2012

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is to launch a US$1 million communications programme today to foster partnerships between civil society and the private sector.

In a statement, USAID said the Structuring Partnerships for an Innovative Communications Environment programme was being implemented by the Open Institute and Ezecom.

The two-year programme "facilitates social and business innovation using communications technology, and improved communications in Khmer via mobile devices," it said.

USAID Mission Director Flynn Fuller said it "enables us to harness the power of technology to bring tangible benefits to people and effect positive change.

"It will change how Cambodians share information and allow us to take advantage of the technological innovation that is already occurring in this country and channel it to further develop Cambodia," he said.
