Established in 2011 at the request of parliamentarians from various parties, the Parliamentary Institute of Cambodia (PIC) is an independently funded and managed center that aims to build capacity among members and staff of the Cambodian Parliament. It is strictly impartial and tailors its activities to the needs of the Cambodian Parliament. PIC’s mandate is first to strengthen the Cambodian legislature by developing the skills of MPs and other parliamentary staff, and second to share its experiences with other Parliaments in the region that have reached a relatively similar level of development as an element of South-South cooperation. To achieve its objective of building parliamentary capacity (and especially that of parliamentary staff), PIC draws on the expertise of national, regional and international partners, including parliamentary organizations and academic institutions, and seeks to promote regional cooperation by sharing knowledge and experience.
The Institutional Development (ID) Department has the role to provide support to the Executive Director in parliamentary relations, external relations, business development, and monitoring of PIC program delivery.
