We unleash the potential of private initiatives to foster sustainable development and shared prosperity in developing and emerging economies.
Swisscontact - the Swiss Foundation for Technical Cooperation is an independent, non-profit foundation based in Zürich, founded in 1959 by leading figures from the Swiss private sector and Swiss universities. It is exclusively involved in international development, active in more than 41 countries with 120 programmes and over 1,000 staff members. At the heart of all Swisscontact’s work stands the private sector and its crucial role in achieving more inclusive economic growth. Swisscontact has been operating in Cambodia since 2013, establishing its office in the country in April 2016.
Digital Learning Materials for Technical and Vocational Education and Training – Phase II (DLM4TVET II) is a two-year initiative (2025–2027) funded by the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) and implemented by Swisscontact. The project is carried out in close collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT), the National Technical Training Institute (NTTI), selected technical training institutes, development partners, NGOs, and private sector actors. DLM4TVET II supports the digitalisation of Cambodia’s TVET system by promoting digital learning and teaching practices, contributing to a more modern, effective, and inclusive vocational training landscape.
