Background
The Secretariat-General of the National Assembly provides administrative and technical support to the legislature and manages the Secretariat’s daily administrative operations and workflow. The e-Parliament system is designed to integrate parliamentary workflow functions such as meeting management, electronic leave, profile management, access security, and asset and vehicle management into a single digital platform.
The e-Parliament initiative, launched in late 2024, aims to modernize administrative processes across the Secretariat-General and align digital development with broader government strategy. The programme combines practical training, local system adaptation, and a phased rollout to build internal capacity and to enable Secretariat staff to operate and maintain the platform.
Key Developments
On 10 July 2026 the Secretariat-General concluded the first phase of a five-day training course on the Use of the e-Parliament System. The phase attracted 92 in-person participants and 114 Zoom accounts, including leaders, administrative officials, focal officers, and assistants from across the Secretariat-General, according to a summary report presented by Mr. Chea Sambo, Deputy Director-General of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
The five core modules covered during the training were system access and security, profile management, electronic leave management, meeting management, and asset and vehicle management. H.E. Khuon Davith, Deputy Secretary-General of the National Assembly, described the programme as an important step in equipping officials with practical skills to support Secretariat-General modernization and encouraged participants to provide feedback for continuous improvement.
Institutional Role
The Secretary-General of the National Assembly chairs the Executive Working Group for the e-Parliament initiative, providing leadership and oversight for the programme’s implementation. Secretariat-General officials are positioned as both primary users and internal trainers, with an explicit expectation that trained staff will cascade skills to colleagues and assist in local adaptation of the system.
Operational Implications
The training focused on user access, routine administrative modules, and practical exercises to prepare participants to operate the platform in daily tasks and to serve as trainers for their teams. Participants were instructed to apply learned procedures in their work and to provide constructive feedback to inform further system development, consistent with the Secretariat-General’s staged rollout approach and the Royal Government’s Pentagonal Strategy – Phase I.
