the Cambodia-Korea Friendship Building; by (1) enhancing the NICU
(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) functions, (2) improving the capacity of
medical services by renovating and expanding the building and through
the training of doctors and nurses, and (3) strengthening the public
health sector of Cambodia by sharing knowledge and practices from Korean
experts.
Please be
reminded that the annual volume of KOICA’s grant aid to Cambodia has
steadily increased, surpassing 20 million US dollars in 2013. KOICA’s
grant aid performance to Cambodia would be approximately 100 million USD
from 1991 up to last year, providing 34 projects to Cambodia covering 4
sectoral priorities including Education, Health, Infrastructure, and
Agriculture & Rural Development. Furthermore, KOICA has strengthened
focused efforts to work together for the socio-economic development of
