This paper examines the current state of the agricultural education and training (AET) system in Cambodia and provides recommendations for Cambodian institutions and policymakers for enhancing the AET system. We conducted two assessment trips in June 2013 and January 2014 to analyze the state of the Cambodian AET system. Data were collected in 53 interviews and five focus groups using a modified-SWOT analysis framework. Stakeholder-identified strengths of the Cambodian AET system include the current political and economic stability of Cambodia, the young labor force, the increased educational enrollments, new agricultural education schools and curricula, good AET leadership, and the wide applicability of AET skillsets. Weaknesses of the Cambodian AET system include weak infrastructure, pedagogical stagnation, skills supply, the disconnect between the supply and workforce demand, and weak institutional administrative expertise. Meanwhile, threats to strengthening the Cambodian AET system include limited public investment, the gap between agriculture and education, low status of agriculture, and poor access to higher education. Recommendations for institutional capacity development in the Cambodian AET system include enhancing skill development and furthering links with NGOs and the private sector, while policy recommendations include welcoming prudent regional integration and enhancing investment across the whole AET system. Comparing our findings to other recent AET system studies indicates that Cambodia is facing similar challenges yet has its own unique path to forge when developing a cohesive AET system capacity development strategy.

Agricultural education and training in the former Czechoslovakia has traditionally focused on fostering the position of cooperatives and state farms. The destruction of socialist agriculture and the reduction of commuting opportunities in the urban space during the transition have resulted in the handicapped socio-economic position of the Slovak countryside and its population. The role of education and training in fostering agribusiness growth and rural development could therefore become a crucial strategy. The aim of this article is to analyse the current state of education and training for agribusiness and for rural development in Slovakia using the methods of literature research and document analysis. The article interprets general trends in the development of adult education in Slovakia during the transition period. The main priorities and perspectives formulated in the national strategy for education in agriculture (for the period 2007-2013) are discussed in the mentioned context. With a focus on the leading role of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, the paper assesses the current status of formal and further agricultural education and training offered in academic and other educational institutions. The paper concludes by discussing implications, recommendations and challenges for developing education and training initiatives for agribusiness and rural development.

(CD), including technical assistance (TA) and training, is one of the three core pillars of the Fund’s work. Its main objective is to help member countries build institutions and capacity necessary to formulate and implement sound economic and financial policies. The Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) was established in 2012 with a specific mandate to further define and develop the Fund's strategy on capacity building and provide a clear institutional framework to bring the coordination and oversight over TA and training activities under one umbrella, while building on partnerships with donors. The Fund’s capacity development strategy was last discussed by the Board in June 2013, and the Board subsequently endorsed the 2014 statement on IMF Policies and Practices on Capacity Development. The 2018 review of the CD strategy will include backward- and forward-looking components: The backward-looking component will consider the prioritization, funding, monitoring and evaluation, and delivery of CD as set out in the 2014 statement. The forward-looking component will provide the opportunity to outline reforms to increase the impact of CD. Emphasis will be on making CD more effective and efficient while building on its existing strengths. Conclusions from the 2018 review will be reflected in a revised statement on IMF Policies and Practices on Capacity Development.
