Women’s Development Centers
The Women’s Development Centers operate at sub-national level under the management of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and its Provincial Departments. Their goal is to provide vocational training opportunities to women in order to increase their employment opportunities and expand their skills to open and manage their own businesses. Trainings are focused in areas such as weaving, handicraft production, hairdressing, tailoring and food processing.
There is a total of 18 Women’s Development Centers in 14 Cambodian provinces, with around 138 administrative and training staff assigned to them and an average of 1,900 trainees who complete their courses every year.
