About Garment Industry Productivity Center

The Center’s goals are:

To help the Cambodian industry meet the challenge of global competition by achieving higher output and lower costs, to build the industrial skills of the Cambodian work force, and to establish models for good governance in apparel manufacturing that are transferable to other industries.

Our focus is on building local capacity for the future, but our programs and materials are designed to benefit the industry today.

The GIPC began in 2006 as a three year project of USAID. The implementing team is led by international development consulting firm Nathan Associates, Inc. Technical expertise in apparel production is supplied by Werner International, Inc., and the institutional development consultants of AIRD, Inc. provide project support on workforce development issues.

GIPC is building a staff of Cambodian trainers and consultants with the multi-lingual and cross-cultural skills required by Cambodia’s multi-national manufacturing environment.

The GIPC offices and the main training center are located in central Phnom Penh; our factory-based consulting is offered throughout Cambodia.
