Background

As to assist Cambodia’s rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts, Japan has resumed the provision of scholarship to Cambodia in 1992 in order to equip the latter with new seeds of human resource to support the social base of the country. Thank to this, many Cambodian students have pursued their dream of quality education in Japan, home of the inspiration of cutting-edge technologies and the second largest economy in the world. Since then, an ever increasing number of graduates of various scholarships, and even self-financed students, have returned home and are playing important roles within Cambodian society, be that of public servants, private sector, academic institutions, and NGOs. With this increasing number and significance of alumni’s presence in Cambodia, a group of Japan graduates, who share common view on the importance of binding the alumni network, have initiated the establishment of Japan Alumni of Cambodia (JAC). The official establishment of JAC was held on August 31, 2002. In June 2006, JAC was formally accepted as a member of ASEAN Council of Japan Alumni (ASCOJA). Being a member of ASCOJA, we are cultivating further the opportunity of growth and the extension of network beyond Cambodia. After this accession, the President’s term was increased to two-year term to match with other member associations in ASCOJA.
