摘要

Among the key international organizations (IOs) operating in Nigeria and Cambodia in terms of activities impact are the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Union (EU), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating from both within and outside the two nations. Generally, the article accessed the impact of these IOs in higher education (HE) system of Nigerian and Cambodia. The major key goals of IO in both nations is to develop education policy, enhance quality of HE, prepare equity of accessing for HE, provide ideas of conducting researches, and provide plenty scholarship opportunities, but for several years, this goals are yet to be accomplished in both nations. In Nigeria context, the major reason for the frequent academic and non-academic strike as result of inadequate funding. While in Cambodia context, the major course of HE slow growth, poor infrastructure, and inadequate manpower, unemployment is as a result of weak intervention of IO in HE. Using secondary data, the paper reviews literatures in accessing the role of IO in financing HE system of both countries. The paper ended with recommendations that all IO should collaborate with the World Bank to impact HE in both countries. We also suggested that more attention should be withdrawn from basic education to HE into other to enhance rapid development of human capital.
