It’s a holiday week here in Cambodia which has made for a slow news week! I have found a few interesting reads, especially the new USAID Digital Ecosystem Framework and GSMA has open sourced their biometric platform. Both of these resources should provide good opportunities for your #techforgood projects!

I am late this week with the newsletter because, well, life happens! I hope these round-up links help support your work in some small way. If you have anything you’d like me to share and promote to this community of over 800 readers, I would love to support you.

I hope your week is off to a great start. This week I am covering a few different topics, the primary article is a great long-read reflecting on the relationship between ICT and international aid. It’s a must read for anyone working in the technology for good and international aid space. I also found interesting reads on barriers to rural technology uptake and a free financial pathways toolkit for helping build financial literacy.

I hope your week is off to a great start. This week I am only highlighting new funding opportunities, since that’s all I could find that was worth highlighting! I wish you luck on all these funding opportunities.

I hope your week is off to a great start! This week I am sharing a great post from GSMA on digital ecosystems.

I hope your week is off to a great start! I took last week off for a much needed holiday away from my computer. But this week I am back with a few interesting highlights across SE Asia and three new funding opportunities.

I hope your week is off to a great start! This week my focus is 100% on what is happening in Cambodia. I’ve found an interesting read from DAI on Music 4.0, an article about social commerce in 2021, and Angkor 500 is having a EdTech event this weekend

I hope your week is off to a great start! This week I am sharing a profile of a SaaS AgTech company based in India that has reached scale across most of SE Asia. A few months ago I spoke about AgTech to 500 Angkor’s cohort of young entrepreneurs and many of the messages I recieved after the talk were asking for more examples of startups working in the AgTech space. FarmERP is great example of SaaS products innovating in agriculture, a market that is ready for more players in Cambodia. Additionally, I also found three great funding opportunities for your startup or originization doing work in SE Asia.
