Fifteen students, five of which from my class, from RULE were sent to participate in the launching of the Local Development Outlook which is prepared by UNDP in Cambodia and UNCDF on the 1st of July 2010 from 8:00 to 13:00 in the Intercontinental Hotel. It was our honor that we were given the chance to widen our view on how to develop our country proposed by the organizations.
Friday 25th June, Teacher Chrin Hai came to our class and informed us of the program. He needed five volunteer students to participate in the program. Malay, Sros, Daly, Danith, and I seized the opportunity. For three years, the university has never given any chance for the College of Economics to participate in similar program. We were excited because it was our first experience to represent the school. Especially, it was also our first time to visit the Intercontinental Hotel.
After registration we were provided with the hard copy of the summary of the local development outlook in both Khmer and English and a CD on the detail of the report. The program was divided into two sessions; first of which started at 8:30 and the second at 10:35. There were many distinguished speakers from UNCDF, UNDF, Ministries, World Bank, New York University, and Acleda Bank. Each of the speakers gave meaningful and remarkable speech on how to develop locally so that development on national level is available and effective.
Though limited knowledge doesn’t allow us to catch the underlying concepts of each speaker, we did learn something from it and at least we could read the outlook by ourselves to further our knowledge.
