Cambodia: Small and medium-sized companies in line for e-commerce training
Small and medium-sized Cambodian companies are to receive government training on how to make the most of the digital economy. The Ministry of Commerce says the training programme is an important part of its Go4eCAM project.
That project aims to increase economic opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by giving them a doorway to the digital economy through an e-commerce platform. It also aims to improve e-commerce in provinces, give extra help to businesses owned by women and develop the business-to-business marketplace.
The Digital Business Training Program for Small and Medium Enterprises is co-financed by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the United Nations Development Programme and a Cambodian entrepreneur.
Secretary of State at the Ministry of Commerce, Tek Reth Kamrong said the ministry has achieved a lot in terms of furthering e-commerce by drawing up consumer protection and e-commerce laws, drafting a law on competition, coming up with trade integration and e-commerce strategies and launching the Go4eCAM project.
Te Taing Por, President of the Federation of Associations for Small and Medium Enterprises, said that the SME sector plays an important role in the context of the Coronavirus pandemic and needs government support to promote future growth and supply domestic and overseas markets.
Cambodia’s biggest SME association estimates that the Kingdom has more than half a million SMEs, 150,000 of which process raw.
