First time facilitating session at international workshop: INSP!R Asia

 Mrs. Meng Navy is the Project Coordinator for the WSM-supported programme at the Cambodian Labour Confederation (CLC), which she represents in SP4ALL, the Cambodian network for universal social protection.

In September 2024, I participated in the INSP!R Asia regional workshop in Kathmandu, which focused on two key topics: Delivering Social Protection in the Platform Economy and the UN Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for a Just Transition. This was my first experience moderating a session in an international workshop. I deepened my understanding of the Global Accelerator, particularly in the context of Cambodia’s recently launched Pentagonal Strategy, which aims to accelerate SDG progress and support the country’s ambition to graduate from Least Developed Country (LDC) status by 2029, achieve upper-middle-income status by 2030, and become a high-income country by 2050. Under this strategy, the Cambodian government has pledged to adopt pro-employment macroeconomic and financing policies. I hope that throughout the implementation of the Global Accelerator, trade unions and civil society organizations will be meaningfully involved in the process.
