Project Description

The project will support the development of Savannakhet University in the Lao PDR, and the University of Battambang in Cambodia which are strategically located in the economic corridors of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). The objective is to produce human resources for meeting the emerging needs of businesses and industries along the economic corridors. Areas for support include governance and management, facilities development, laboratory equipment, curriculum and syllabus development, faculty and student development and exchanges, and research capacity and cooperation. The project will also develop and strengthen networking among universities located along the economic corridors in Cambodia, the Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Special attention will be given to the adoption of quality assurance and credit transfer systems (CTSs) which will be harmonized with the support of the proposed regional technical assistance (TA) for Implementing the GMS Human Resource Development (HRD) Strategic Framework and Action Plan (SFAP), 2013-2017 (Phase 2), so that the quality and connectivity of universities in the GMS will be improved.
