GIZ is a federally owned enterprise and is supporting the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. The Strengthening Regional Structures for Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion in ASEAN “ASEAN SME”, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is seeking for an intern for 6 months.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are important drivers for the economies of the ASEAN Member States, and their active role is emphasized in the Blueprint for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2025. However, in the implementation, challenges were found with respect to a lack of awareness and limited information among SMEs on how to access markets and utilized opportunities for expansion both within and outside of the region. Limited information about international requirements and standards for commercial products results in difficulties in linking up with value chains in regional and international trade. This results in delayed expansion and economic growth. For this reason, efforts must be made to increase access to relevant information and networks alongside with improvement in capacity to address all these aforementioned challenges.
In order to put the second and third of the said objectives into realization, the project and the implementing partner in Cambodia (Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, MISTI) have established the SME Taskforce to develop the National SME information website “KhmerSME”, which will specifically provide various information and other supports for progress and improvement in the quality of SMEs to participate in the country and regional trade arena.
The intern will work to support ASEAN SME project and Department of Small and Medium Enterprise of MISTI to collect and structure documents and information as well as research documents related to SME topics to be published in KhmerSME and for project used.
