The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Cambodia Office will offer an online course on “Capacity Building on Human Rights Promotion and Protection Mechanism in Cambodia” for 20 officials from Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC).

The objective of this training course is to contribute to the achievement of the annual goal of the CHRC, said KOICA in a press release AKP received this afternoon.

This year is the third year that KOICA has conducted the online training on “Capacity Building on Human Rights Promotion and Protection Mechanism in Cambodia”.

According to the same source, this intensive training course, to take place from June 20 to June 29, is designed to provide a reference to Korea’s experience for Cambodia’s human rights improvement, to assist in the improvement and modernisation of peace and human rights education, and to strengthen the capacity of the CHRC’s civil officials to improve human rights system and policies.

The Cambodian participants have also prepared a country report by analysing the current issues and major challenges the country is facing. It is part of the Action Plan building process in which participants will get involved throughout the training programme.

In Cambodia, KOICA works in several technical areas on various programmes and projects that substantially impact Cambodia’s development such as improving students’ nutrition and wellbeing, strengthening teacher capacity, public health, agriculture and health infrastructure, and innovation.

“KOICA will continue to support and implement programmes in Cambodia that target the development of human resources,” underlined the press release.
