It is known that improving the performance of the agricultural sector through vocational training is a priority for the development of the Cambodian Government and donors. To innovate and enhance the resilience to climate change in Cambodia's agriculture in providing with agricultural extension services to support agricultural producers, Vietnam is seen as a typical example of a wide range of agricultural research activities implemented by a number of agencies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and a pioneer in the development of climate smart agriculture –CSA. In addition, Vietnam directly links to research and extension programs, and climate change policies, both greenhouse gas adaptation and mitigation.
