Cambodian ICT Masterplan 2020 throughout whole month or week, however, it may run only several days. 3.4. Enhancing Digital Literacy 3.4.1 Institutional and Legal Environment for Digital Literacy Digital literacy for the all Cambodian citizens also cannot be achieved without the proper institutional, legal support system. Therefore, like the promotion of e-Awareness, Cambodian government has to designate or establish a certain organization in charge for the promotion of digital literacy for all Cambodian citizens. Most feasible solution for the development of organizational support is to create a special Division within NiDA which is in charge of national digital literacy project. The role of this division may include review of current status of digital literacy, training of ICT lectures and management of ICT lecturer DB, development of ICT textbook, cooperation with community organizations for digital literacy, and development of national plan to promote digital literacy. 3.4.2 Cooperation with Community Organization for Digital Literacy Another challenge in implementing digital literacy program in Cambodia is the lack of sufficient facilities to offer digital literacy training program. Construction of new training center requires a substantial amount of money, thus Cambodian government cannot build all necessary training centers by themself. One solution of this problem is the cooperation with community organizations (such as school, social welfare center, religious organization etc.). Community organization can offer space, then, what Government has to do is to provide PC and lectures. 3.4.3 ICT Training for Disadvantaged The most serious challenge that Cambodia is facing for the promotion of digital literacy, is that most of Cambodian people is rural residents. 80% of Cambodian is rural residents, therefore, if Cambodian Government must develop a certain mechanism to encourage the rural residents to participate in digital literacy program. 3.5 Connecting Universal Access 3.5.1 Operation of Refurbishment Center for Second Hand PC Demand to use second hand PC is decreasing due to the availability of cheap PC, however high quality second PC is easily available due to the shortened life cycle of PC. The operation of refurbishment center could enable not only the provisions of PC but also utilization of the PC maintenance skills to run refurbishment center and employment opportunity for the youth. 11
