Message from the Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Economy and Finance

The strengthening of human resources and capacity is a key aspect of the new paradigm for the sustainable development of the nation.

We have established the Economics and Finance Institute (EFI) to build up the human resource capacity and enhance the quality and professionalism of the officials of the Ministry of Economy and Finance as well as those of the other Line Ministries of the Royal Government of Cambodia.

To support the transition of the economy toward the market oriented system, the EFI has designed a series of courses which will enable the participants to acquire the basic technical skills and knowledge required to enhance their performance now and in the future in areas such as: economic analysis, finance, management, international economics, accounting, taxation, banking, laws of business and finance, customs administration, international and regional integration, ASEAN and WTO, information technology and English language.

The EFI’s training programs meet international standards.  EFI has collaborated with the Charles Sturt University of New South Wales, Australia to implement the CSU-EFI Masters in Business Administration Program (CSU/MBA), with the support of the Intellectual Research Incorporated Group of Malaysia (IRI).

The EFI’s CSU/MBA program has committed to educate a wide range of students, providing a first-rate education in Cambodia to a diverse student population based on the principle that a truly remarkable education is one that creates the opportunity to learn about differences as well as similarities.

The EFI is proud that its efforts has been commended by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Indeed, the EFI is widely recognized as a reputable and reliable training institution that has devoted its resources and skills to the professional development of the public sector.

The Royal Government of Cambodia, under Sub-degree No 20 dated 20 March 2002, has authorized the EFI to offer the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programs in Finance and Accounting. The program will ensure that students gain a deep understanding of finance and accounting, enabling their appropriate development as future leaders in government, business and civic organizations.

The EFI implements the national government’s training strategy that enhances and accelerates public administration reform in Cambodia. EFI's training program strives to “mobilize human resources to bring about and manage change".

The EFI has been very active in international cooperation through collaborative programs with international and regional training institutions such as the World Bank Institute (WBI), the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), Japan Center for International Finance (JCIF), IMF-Singapore Regional Training Institute, Korean Development Institute (KDI) School of Public Policy and Management, University of Malaya (UM Malaysia), and the School of Economics of the University of the Philippines (UPSE).

As Cambodia progresses in the 21st century and strives to overcome challenges along the way, the EFI has committed to continue its significant investments in enhancing human resource capacity and critical policy skills of Cambodian officials from numerous ministries and institutions. The EFI shares the Royal Government’s vision of enhanced peace in Cambodia and its successful integration into the international community.

The EFI is a place where academic inquiry and practical application combine to produce a better understanding of our world. This nexus is realized through scholarly research, forums, and conferences ,
and collaboration with the governmental, non-profit, and business communities. The research carried out by our faculty covers an extensive range of policy issues and enriches the education we provide.

Our ongoing commitment to increase the diversity of the faculty, staff and student body is a key factor for our success.

RESOURCES OF EFI

PHYSICAL RESOURCES

Information Technology Center

EFI information technology center responds to the needs by teaching information technology skills to government officials. A number of information technology training was held during the last several years.

EFI information technology centers also provide information technology support services to the departments of the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The technical support includes computer maintenance and repair, networking, software upgrading, recovery of data, software installation, and support, anti-virus, and consultancy services.

Self-learning Language Laboratory

The Self-learning Language Laboratory provides an opportunity for government officials to learn languages and other technical disciplines at low cost and with minimum supervision.

Self-learning Language Laboratory contains ten listening posts, two complete multimedia centers and a number of software dealing with economic management, public finance, and technology.

Library

The Asia Foundation, the World Bank and ADB and Donors have donated a number of important books, research studies and working papers as well as magazines relating to economic and public finance management. EFI library becomes a Depository center of World Bank library. Presently, there has been a high demand of books, technical journals, working papers, research studies.  The EFI library has been fully utilized not only by the various ministries of the Royal Government of Cambodia, but also by many students and faculties from different public and private universities and colleges.

EFI is very grateful to everyone who contributes to building our library resources of the past year. At the same time, EFI wish to call for assistance from international and domestic partners to continue to help EFI library to acquire more books, studies papers, research papers which are greedy needed by our readers.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Royal Government of Cambodia has reorganized that the development of human resources is the most important factor in promoting sustainable socio-economic development. The Royal Government of Cambodia has put in place the Economics and Finance Institute to provide the training of present and future administrators in economy and finance.

Established in 1997, EFI launched its training activities in early 1998 with technical and financial support from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the donor institutions including World Bank, Asian Development Bank, International Monetary Fund, and others. 

Financial Support from the Ministry of Economy and Finance

Overall, the establishment of the Economics and Finance Institute is through the resources provided by the TA of the World Bank, which has enabled the Ministry to have a pool of officials who are more efficient in economics management, public financial management, accounting, auditing, English language, and Information Technology skills.

EFI have not received one hundred percent of its budget allocated by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. EFI has received approximately 30 percent per year of its budget to cover a major portion of EFI training expenses. This does not mean that EFI should entirely rely on the government budget. About 70 percent of EFI training activities have been supported by its partners.

Financial Support from the Donors

Technical and financial support of the donor is important for training activities at EFI.
The World Bank actively worked with EFI to launch a series of short-term and long-term programs as well as workshops and seminars during 1998 to 2000. As a result, about a thousand government officials coming from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Line Ministries have been trained on different areas. The role of World Bank in supporting EFI is so important for EFI at that time.

EFI gratefully acknowledges the generous benefactors who contributed to the EFI. In addition, EFI recognizes the contributions of technical and financial supports made by partners including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, International Monetary Fund, Japan Center for International Finance, Japan International Cooperation Agency, KDI School of Public Policy and Management of south Korea, University of Malaya of Malaysia, The Sasakawa Peace Foundation of Japan, and others who are crucial to the overall success of EFI sponsored initiative and activities.

Presently, the training activities have slowed down compared to the existence of TA of the World Bank during 1998 to 2000. It is true that the short-term and long-term courses as well workshops and seminars have been limited offered by EFI annually due to the funding problem.

EFI appreciates and values the positive role of its partners in helping us meet our financing needs to carry out our mission statement that aims at building up the human resource capacity and enhancing the quality and professionalism of the government officials of the Ministry of Economy and Finance and, by large, those of Line-Ministries. EFI hopes that our partners will keep up its vigorous support to EFI in order to possibly build up human resources progress in Cambodia.
