This year, as Cambodia advances toward a digitalized economy and society—a key pillar of the Pentagonal Strategy Phase I—we have sought the insights of young scholars on pertinent issues in this transformation. In response, our young fellows have contributed their views through 14 policy briefs compiled in this second edited volume: Driving Digital Transformation in Cambodia: Issues, Challenges and Recommendations. This volume is, indeed, thought-provoking, insightful, timely, and crucial to a better understanding of digital transformation in Cambodia.
As the AYSE program coordinators and mentors, we have been inspired by our young fellows’ curiosity, commitment to learning, and aspiration to realize their vision of an ideal Cambodia. These articles mark their first steps on a long journey of continuous learning and active engagement. We hope you enjoy the volume and look forward to your constructive feedback.
