UNDP Cambodia and the Office of the Council of Ministers co-hosted a high-level roundtable on 19 May 2026 to discuss findings from UNDP’s latest regional report, The Next Great Divergence, and the practical application of its AI-powered multidimensional vulnerability mapping, including monetary, non-monetary, and climate hazards.

The dialogue explored how Cambodia can harness AI and data integration to advance human development, reduce inequality, and prepare for an increasingly digital future, while addressing risks that could widen development gaps.
