In a significant address, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet stressed the need to move away from the traditional “Working in Silos” practice and adopt the “Dynamics of Stakeholders System” approach. This shift is essential for establishing a strong national innovation system that can excel in regional and global competition.
On Sunday (March 24), the Prime Minister delivered his remarks at the launch of the 2nd National Day of Science, Technology, and Innovation held at the Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Center. He emphasized the significance of the Dynamics of Stakeholders System approach, particularly in the first phase of the Pentagonal Strategy.
The Dynamics of Stakeholders System approach requires all ministries and institutions under the Royal Government of Cambodia, at both national and sub-national levels, to collaborate and coordinate their efforts energetically. This teamwork, driven by synergy and complementarity, along with adaptability to changing realities, is crucial to achieving the set priority objectives.
To further promote engagement in advancing science, technology, and innovation, Prime Minister Hun Manet proposed prioritizing key actions in coordination with the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology, and Innovation and other relevant ministries.
One of the key actions highlighted by the Prime Minister is the reinforcement of governance in the realm of science, technology, and innovation. This reinforcement should align with existing legal frameworks. The Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology, and Innovation, together with the National Board of Science, Technology, and Innovation, play pivotal roles in this domain. They must transition from the isolated “working in silos” approach to collaborative endeavors under the Dynamics of Stakeholders System. This shift is critical for establishing a robust national innovation system that can effectively compete at regional and global levels.
Prime Minister Hun Manet emphasized that harnessing science, technology, and innovation is vital for the advancement of the digital socio-economy. This involves integrating cutting-edge technologies into production chains and public services to enhance productivity and align with global standards.
The Prime Minister’s call for the Dynamics of Stakeholders System approach reflects a vision of enhanced collaboration and coordination among ministries and institutions to achieve efficient outcomes. The transition from the traditional siloed approach to this collaborative model will empower the national innovation system, enabling Cambodia to thrive in regional and global competition.
By embracing this approach, Cambodia can unlock the full potential of science, technology, and innovation to drive economic growth, improve public services, and align with international standards. The continuous efforts to enhance productivity and efficiency through the Dynamics of Stakeholders System approach will propel Cambodia further on its path towards a prosperous and competitive nation in the modern world.
