  2. Outline 1 Introduction - Rationale (MI local partners) - Rationale (LCOCI) - Research questions - Research objectives 2 Conceptual Framework 3 Scope and Limitations

  3. 1 Introduction Rationale (MI local partners)

  4. The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Yunnan Province and Guangxi Autonomous Region PR China Myanmar Thailand Lao PDR Cambodia Vietnam • Land area of 2.6 million square kilometers • About 325 million people live within the GMS region

  5. Thailand China Vietnam Lao PDR Myanmar Cambodia Cambodia and Lao PDR are considered to be least developed countries among GMS countries GDP

  7. Improving rural development is important  Human resource development in rural development works is needed.  MI would like to do research on capacity building need assessment which focus on - Cambodia: The Council for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) - Lao PDR: key government partners (assigned agencies)

  8. CARD Structure

  10. Rationale (the Local COCI)

  11. Rationale (LCOCI) • A Local Chamber of Commerce & Industry (COCI) is normally a voluntary association whose membership is comprised of companies, civic leaders, and individual business people. Its members seek to promote the interests of business, typically in a broad-based way. (Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/chamber-of-commerce) • The Local COCI along the EWEC can play crucial role to encourage the transboundary trade. Their roles are not limited only to support provincial economic development but also support cooperation program, cooperate & promote trade with other cities/countries, provide education/information support to community, and coordinate with other COCI. (Source: the ADB Technical Assistance Consultant’s Report, December 2008)

  12. Therefore, the local COCI capacity building need assessment is crucial to be addressed since they can enhance, support and facilitate public and private sector to develop in their respective geographical location. • However, each local COCI along the EWEC have difference capacity. Therefore, the MI would like to research on this topic in order to provide a series of capacity building training programs to enhance their institutional, organizational and human resource capacities.

  14. Research Questions : • What are the essential skills that need to be provided in order to enable MI local partners/local COCI to perform their maximize ability? Research Objectives : • To understand the current capacity of each MI local partners/local COCI • To find out the capacity gab in each level of MI local partners/local COCI which need to be addressed • To provide suitable training programs to enhance their capacity
