RSA/ERA is a public training institution under the supervision of Ministry of Civil Service, and plays the role in improving capacity and efficiency of initial training, continuing training and public sector-related research. The Royal School of Administration of Cambodia (RSA), aka "Ecole Royale d'Administration du Cambodge (ERA)", is a school of reference in the field of training for public administration officials. The RSA takes on a crucial duty: it is responsible for the recruitment, training and betterment of high-ranking civil servants intended to serve in government administration, to play an active role in State reform and to become impartial agents for change, the guarantors of pluralism and social stability, and core workers supporting the advance of the country. Through its training programs constantly updated to reflect the direction of the country’s reforms and the government's growing needs for qualified staff, the training given at the Royal School of Administration aims to provide its students with strong technical skills as well as to enable them to develop their own human abilities. Granted since December 2004 the status of government institution in the area of public administration, managed autonomously under the technical supervision of the Office of the Council of Ministers and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance, the Royal School of Administration receives a strong and unmitigated support from the Royal Government of Cambodia.
