Then, its main action between 1991 and 1995 aimed at providing technical assistance to the Provincial Office of Education and the technical training centers in four provinces: Kompong Speu, Kompong Chhnang, Kandal and Prey Veng. Over the 25 years, Sipar has developed a network of reading places, fixed and mobile, in order to support reading development in Cambodia. Furthermore, Sipar, aware of the publishing situation in Cambodia and the lack of books in Khmer language for young people, initiated a publishing program in 2000, with several series for readers from birth to adulthood.
