The Ministry of Industry and Handicrafts, with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (Unescap) and the Inclusive Business Action Network (iBAN), held the First Inclusive Forum for Cambodia in Phnom Penh on Wednesday.
High-level government officials and executive managers from inclusive businesses, intermediary and international organisations and other public and private stakeholders attended the forum, discussions at which are to form the preliminary results of a joint landscape study by Unescap and iBAN on inclusive business recently conducted in the Kingdom.
“Inclusive business is the deliberate approach of the private sector to promote – through a commercial business approach – the poverty reduction and social agenda of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs].
"Inclusive business makes growth in Cambodia more inclusive, dynamic, and it is instrumental for structural transformation to become an upper middle-income country,” said Heng Sok Kung, secretary of state at the Ministry of Industry.
