Caring for Cambodia, in collaboration with the Southeast Asia Globe, explore the issues still present in the country’s education sphere. But also, importantly, shine a light on the immense steps made and the work being done to bring education and hope to generations of Cambodians to come.

As part of Future Forum’s Cambodia 2040 project, many of the Kingdom’s brightest young minds have come together to lay out their vision for building a nation where everyone is free to learn, grow, work and live to their full potential. From the classrooms our children learn in, to the farms their food is grown on, and the regional politics shaping their futures.

Pacific Forum’s Young Leaders Program was established in 2004 to build cross-cultural experiences for young scholars and foreign policy professionals to improve policy analysis skills early in their careers. The program affords Young Leaders an unparalleled opportunity to network, observe the foreign-policy making process and voice their generation’s viewpoints within elite circles of policy specialists. Read their perspectives here.

No child deserves to grow up knowing only fear and want. In partnership with Friends International, Southeast Asia Globe has produced a series investigating the changing face of child protection in Cambodia.
