AKP Phnom Penh, April 03, 2025 --

The National Productivity Centre of Cambodia (NPCC) under the General Department of Industry, Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI), is hosting a three-day Conference on the Development of Public-Sector Productivity Specialists.

The event, running from April 3 to 5, 2025 brings together 100 participants from various ministries and public institutions to explore best practices in improving organizational efficiency and public service delivery, said MISTI.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, H.E. Phork Sovannarith, Secretary of State of MISTI, said, "Productivity is vital for national economic growth. The Royal Government of Cambodia aims to increase public sector productivity to bolster business environment and attract both domestic and international investment."

According to MISTI, the conference marks the third phase of Cambodia’s Technical Expert Services Programme, supported by the Asian Productivity Organisation (APO). It features site visits to key government institutions—including the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), the Ministry of Civil Service, and the Ministry of Public Works and Transport—where participants analyse real-world applications of productivity strategies.

Discussions focus on digital transformation, regulatory reform, and process optimisation to enhance Cambodia’s public administration.

This conference also serves as a platform for public sector productivity specialists in Cambodia to learn from international best practices and apply proven strategies to modernise their own institutions.

Development of public sector productivity specialists is crucial not only for improving public service delivery but also for fostering public trust and ensuring that resources are utilized effectively for national development.
