2023 CCI Survey

CCI survey 2023 received 436 responses (F: 180, M: 187, and Non-disclose 69) while there were only 133 in 2022 when CICADA conducted the CCI survey for the first time. CICADA’s data collector team consists of two personnel (PO Sakun, CICADA Coordinator and ATH Manin, a research assistant) went to Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Oddor Meanchey, Siem Reap, Kampong Thom and Kampot, Kampong Cham and Tbong Khmum province). We collected the data in Phnom Penh mostly via emails to those CCI professionals whom we believe have the capacity with mobile technology. With our effort, CICADA managed to connect to creative sectors such as design and creative services (fashion, visual, and product), content creator / influencer economy, and literature and publishing through Phina’s rich networks in literary community.

CICADA has been working with Kai Brennert, an independent consultant whom used to design and analyzed the CCI survey in 2022. This year CICADA had made a bigger effort in gathering more voices from more diverse sectors so that CICADA can get a representative number of CCI indicators for 2023. The CCI survey has concluded and now the researcher is analyzing the survey. The draft finding is expected to be in July.  The CCI survey has already received a support letter from the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts. It enables CICADA to send letters to other provinces that our data collectors could not go. However, there is little to no responses. Cultural and Creative Industries 2024 report will be shared by the end of July or in August. Stay tuned!
