Call for External Collaborator – illustrator for the ILO financial education training materials in Cambodia

The ILO’s Financial Education programme was introduced to Cambodia in 2023-24 to strengthen garment workers’ financial literacy in a context of rapid wage digitization in the sector. The intervention, led by Better Factories Cambodia and the ILO’s Global Centre on Digital Wages for Decent Work, enabled the adaptation of the ILO’s training manuals (trainers’ manual and trainee’s guide) to the Cambodia context and target group, the training of 20 national trainers and the certification of eight amongst them, the roll out of the training to hundreds of garment workers and trade union leaders. In this context, the Association of Banks of Cambodia (ABC) has requested ILO’s assistance to support their efforts in promoting financial education to a broader target group and through its member financial institutions. After consultations with ABC, its member institutions and the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), it has been agreed that the ILO trainee’s booklet will be adjusted so that it can be used for broader target groups in the country. Given this, there is a need to hire an illustrator to produce a series of new illustrations to complement the existing material. These illustrations will be based on fictional characters that will be used in the financial education training with the target groups.
