Description: This event is focused on advancing statistical data management to support national indicator monitoring, following recommendations from the July 2025 mission. The team coordinated with key development partners—including Istat and Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED)—to review and harmonize data exchange templates, strengthen support for data‑management infrastructure, and improve monitoring of national indicator frameworks such as the CSDG indicators. The event also upgraded the Camstat data platform to the latest .Stat Suite version to enable more frequent updates, better integration with other tools, and alignment with key national frameworks, while providing training to National Institute of Statistics (NIS) staff to enhance local ownership of the system. Additionally, discussions were held with the National Bank of Cambodia on potential collaboration to improve data exchange with NIS.

Description: This event is a joint initiative by ESCAP and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office to strengthen Cambodia’s SDG monitoring and reporting systems in alignment with the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2024–2028 and the Pentagonal Strategy. Recent institutional reforms, including the transition of the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) into an autonomous body, have created an opportunity to enhance coordination and integration across national data systems. Strengthening SDG monitoring has been identified as a national priority following high‑level discussions between the UN and the Ministry of Planning (MOP). The proposed activities include reviewing and refining the Cambodia SDG Framework (CSDG) to better reflect national priorities, mapping and aligning indicators across the CSDG, NSDP, and Pentagonal Strategy, and improving the availability and consistency of metadata. The initiative also aims to strengthen inter‑institutional coordination mechanisms for SDG data governance. Planned engagements include a kickoff meeting with the Inter‑ministerial Working Group on CSDG implementation, national workshops, and ongoing technical support from ESCAP and RCO. A three‑day technical mission is proposed to support these objectives, consisting of internal coordination meetings, a high‑level dialogue to confirm institutional roles and responsibilities, and a stakeholder briefing to present the project plan, review data gaps, and gather feedback. Key national partners include NIS, the Ministry of Planning’s General Department of Planning, and the Office of the Council of Ministers, with support from development partners such as UN agencies and Australia’s DFAT. The initiative will be funded through the Korea–ESCAP Cooperation Fund (KECF).
