Regional : Greater Mekong Subregion Phnom Penh Plan for Development Management III
The impact of PPP Phase III will be continuing improvements in efficiency and effectiveness of development management in the GMS for sustained socio-economic development of the region. The intended outcome of the TA is to build capacity of GMS government officials, strengthen GMS institutions, and encourage knowledge generation and dissemination. PPP aims to accomplish this by strengthening the technical and managerial capabilities of civil servants in the GMS through a series of carefully designed learning activities and networking opportunities. It is expected that these civil servants will act as catalysts for change both nationally and regionally. The TA will also provide platforms for knowledge sharing and dissemination through alumni networks, research, and publications.

| Description | The impact of PPP Phase III will be continuing improvements in efficiency and effectiveness of development management in the GMS for sustained socio-economic development of the region. The intended outcome of the TA is to build capacity of GMS government officials, strengthen GMS institutions, and encourage knowledge generation and dissemination. PPP aims to accomplish this by strengthening the technical and managerial capabilities of civil servants in the GMS through a series of carefully designed learning activities and networking opportunities. It is expected that these civil servants will act as catalysts for change both nationally and regionally. The TA will also provide platforms for knowledge sharing and dissemination through alumni networks, research, and publications. 1.The specific objectives of PPP Phase III are to: (i) strengthen technical, managerial, and leadership capacity of civil servants of the GMS; (ii) promote a better understanding of benefits and challenges of regional cooperation and foster a collaborative and cooperative spirit; (iii) provide opportunities for life long learning; (iv) strengthen institutional networks for capacity building; (v) support GMS based research to develop scholarship and generate knowledge; and (vi) provide access to GMS related knowledge and information. Specific outputs will include: (i) participation of 600 civil servants in learning programs; (ii) fellowships for short duration programs at universities of international repute for 12 top performing alumni from learning programs; (iii) a program to support research; (iv) highly focused learning events designed to stimulate reflection, debate and action among GMS stakeholders; (v) lifelong learning and networking opportunities for PPP alumni; (vi) expansion of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) in Cambodia and establishment of an LRC in Lao PDR to provide access to information on GMS; and (vii) journals and research papers to disseminate information on the GMS and serve as catalyst for further debate and discussion. |

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The PPP has been successful because of sustained ownership, commitment, and participation of the GMS countries. It has established a niche as one of the few GMS-focused capacity building initiatives with carefully chosen learning programs that promote regional cooperation. However, as the capacity building needs of the GMS countries are extensive, the PPP needs to be considerably enlarged if it is to make a sustained impact on the subregion's pool of skilled human resources. Consequently, at the 13th GMS Ministerial meeting in December 2004, the GMS countries recognized the value provided by PPP and requested that it be continued with an expanded scope. | ||||||||||||||||||||
