Seventy-six staff members of the Ministry of Interior responsible for the National ID Card Programme in 24 provinces and municipalities of Cambodia have completed the Information Technology course which was conducted with the support of UNDP’s Strengthening Democracy and Electoral Processes in Cambodia Project (SDEP) and implemented by the Cambodian partner KhmerDev.
