The Nurturing Early Skills through Technology (NEST) Project is funded by the Japan Social Development Fund (JSDF) and administered by the World Bank. The Project is implemented by Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) of Cambodia.
The Project aims to enhance access to and quality of Early Childhood Education (ECE) through the promotion of learning through play and the integration of digital technology in target districts in Cambodia.
