In the current project phase, the professional capacities of 10 LLL centers (LLLCs) are continuously improved to deliver good quality course for adult learning and education (ALE). To reach this objective, 40 teachers from the LLLCs participate in tailor-made trainings to learn more about ALE courses - based on the global framework concept Curriculum globALE developed and implemented by DVV International worldwide in various project countries. These training courses are managed and implemented by DVV International’s partner, the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) that will provide official certificates to all participants upon completion.

In terms of learning content, at least five short-term courses based on the needs of the local population will be identified, developed and implemented in the LLLCs. Moreover, all ten LLLCs are receiving further training in organizational development and financial management based on DVV International framework called Curriculum ManagerALE and the earlier with governmental partners developed LLLC Manual. Progress is monitored trough regular training, coaching and consulting organized by the DVV Office.

To expand the LLLC concept throughout the country, it is planned that five new CLCs or youth centers will join the LLLC network and receive training as to the concept and as to the due management of such centers. These trainings will be supported by the already well functioning ten LLLCs who have successfully undergone this transformation. Lastly, DVV International will continue and intensify its policy dialogue and advisory services to governmental stakeholders at the central and the local level to assure financial sustainability through integrating the operation of at least five LLLCs into government-sponsored Community Investment Plan (CIP).
