Joint project between the Cambodia Development Resource Institute and OECD

The team worked with the Ministry of Interior – who provided information on country goals, data and policies – to implement a project on understanding the link between migration and remittances and sectors such as agriculture and education. The post-project report argued that while the whole migration process (emigration, remittances, return migration) could contribute to Cambodia’s development, it was not being fully optimised and therefore suggested a range of recommendations, such as the implementation of a national financial education programme to boost the financial literacy of Cambodians so that more remittances could be channelled towards productive investments.
