.Analysis

The Royal Government of Cambodia should public the information about its national budget separated by sector.

Cambodia needs more FDI inflow to develop the country, especially Science and Technology.

Even though, Cambodia has three science and technology institutes, the human resource is not enough for the R&D activities, so Cambodia needs more expert from other countries.

Royal Government should find more fund related to R&D and provide enough material for R&D activities.
