Therefore, skill upgrading is still an acute need of the institute. Statistical activities have to be continued to retain the manpower developed so far. More experiences will sharpen the capability of processing and keep the staff updated also. Unfortunately, the Cambodian government can hardly afford to conduct any larges scale surveys on its own fund. Therefore, there is a severe scarcity of resources to continue statistical activities.
Processing is a part of survey operation.
To improve processing capability, subject matter specialists need also to be upgraded in different bureaus of NIS along with computer center. Cambodia may face difficulty in retaining the skilled computer operators and supervisors of NIS due to attractive incentives available in non-government sector. It is time to be thought by NIS and higher authorities on this problem. Therefore, keeping in mind the lack of its own resources and possibility of gap in external assistance, NIS should try its best to coordinate donors in arranging external assistance. In fact, NIS should also put a feasible and plausible request to the government for regular activities as well.
