Announcement Description

ABOUT PONLOK CHOMNES

The Asia Foundation, with the support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is implementing a four-year program (2019-2023), Ponlok Chomnes: Data and Dialogue for Development in Cambodia. The program aims to strengthen the capacity of knowledge sector institutions to broaden their networks and undertake quality research that informs public policy analysis and dialogue in Cambodia.

ABOUT PONLOK CHOMNES NATIONAL POLICY FORUM

It has been over two years since the coronavirus pandemic began, putting immense pressure on global and regional public health systems and socio-economic development. The ASEAN countries, including Cambodia, have put significant efforts into fighting against the COVID-19. For instance, in 2020, the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF)1 was developed to respond to the pandemic across the region. The Framework focuses on five broad strategies, including 1) enhancing health systems, 2) strengthening human security, 3) maximizing the potential of the intra-ASEAN market and broader economic integration, 4) accelerating inclusive digital transformation, and 5) advancing towards a more sustainable and resilient future. In Cambodia, the government's effort to roll out its vaccination program and capacity to respond quickly and effectively has kept the pandemic under control. As of now, Cambodia is one of the top countries in the world for vaccination rates. Consequently, the number of COVID-19 cases has been declining steadily.
