CAPACITY BUILDING AND INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING FOR LOGISTICS MONITORING AND EVALUATION DATABASE DEVELOPMENT IN CAMBODIA, LAO PDR AND VIET NAM

Objectives

Objectives

  • 1. To enhance the capacity of government officials in developing logistics M&E frameworks and databases for effective tracking of logistics activities in the Mekong region, with a focus on Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam (CLV countries). To develop a standardized logistics M&E guide to support logistics development in the Mekong region. To establish a central logistics database system for the Mekong region to ensure sustainable logistics development and support policymaking through reliable data.

Activities

To enhance the data collection, management, and evaluation capabilities of both the public and private sectors in logistics, and to strengthen regional integration and cooperation, the professional capabilities of government officials and relevant personnel will be gradually improved through training and technical support.

A multilateral cooperation platform will be established, and the process will progress in phases and in a planned manner—from the national to the regional level, and from framework development to database construction.

[Expected] Results

The development of the Logistics Statistics Management and Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) training module was completed, and multiple domestic and international training and technical exchange activities were successfully organized.

The M&E framework for logistics in Cambodia was initially formulated.
