DOMON (Genetic Resources Center, NARO) Received May 15, 2016, Accepted June 28, 2016 Corresponding author: Y. TANAKA (e-mail : [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization and Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resource in Asia project in order to survey the genetic resources of vegetables in Cambodia. As a part of the project, the second collaborative field survey for solanaceous crops was conducted in Cambodia, from November 10th to 18th, 2015, in eastern Cambodia. The main targets of the survey were chili peppers and eggplants. We conducted surveys in the provinces of Prey Veng, Tboung Khmum, Kratie, Mondolkiri, Ratanakiri, and Stung Treng and collected 87 solanaceous accessions, including 74 chili peppers (28 Capsicum annuum L. and 46 Capsicum frutescens L.) and 13 eggplants (Solanum spp.). The sample for one of C. frutescens accessions was accidentally lost, so it was deleted from the collection list. The collected seeds were divided equally, with half deposited in the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute gene bank and the other half transferred to the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization gene bank.

Current context Humanitarian intervention and development assistance remain essential to support and improve the lives of millions of vulnerable people in Cambodia. Unmet needs are significant; indeed, life for the majority of the Cambodian people remains extremely difficult. The latest population estimate is 13.09 million (NIS1 2005), with 35 per cent (2006)2 or 4.58 million people living below the poverty line; while a mere 34 per cent have access to improved drinking water sources (ADB, 2006); HIV prevalence has dropped from 1.2 per cent in 2003 to 0.9 per cent in 2006.

  • ESID Working Paper No. 43 the Political Economy of Inclusive
    ESID Working Paper No. 43 The political economy of inclusive healthcare in Cambodia Tim Kelsall 1 and Seiha Heng 2 December, 2014 1 Freelance consultant, researcher, and teacher, Phnom Penh Email correspondence: [email protected] 2 Cambodia Development Resource Institute Email correspondence: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-908749-43-7 email: [email protected] Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) School of Environment and Development, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK www.effective-states.org The political economy of inclusive health care in Cambodia Abstract Over the past 15 years, Cambodia has made significant strides in expanding effective access to free healthcare for poor people, thanks largely to ‘Health Equity Funds’ (HEFs), a multi-stakeholder health-financing mechanism. HEF operators have helped expand access, incentivise health staff, and lobby on behalf of poor patients. However, despite their successes, they have been unable convincingly to address some of the deeper-seated problems of the Cambodian health system, such as under-resourced facilities, underpaid, poorly qualified staff, and a burgeoning private sector. This paper explains this state of affairs as a product of Cambodia’s ‘political settlement’, in which relatively successful multi-stakeholder initiatives exist as ‘islands of effectiveness’ in a sea of rent-seeking and patronage. While such islands may currently be the best solution available for poor people, the deeper problems are unlikely to be solved without a shift in the political settlement itself. Keywords: politics, political economy, political settlements, inclusive development, Cambodia, healthcare, Health Equity Funds Kelsall, T., and Heng, S.

  • National Assessment Report on Mercury in Cambodia
    National Assessment Report on Mercury in Cambodia Prepared by: Department of Hazardous Substance Management, General Directorate of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Environment Supported by: United Nations for Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, The International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) August 2016 Acknowledgement The completion of this report could not have been possible without participation and assistance of many people whose names may not all be listed. Their contributions are sincerely appreciated and grateful acknowledged. However, The Department of Hazardous Substance Management, would like to express its deep appreciation and indebtedness particularly to following: His Excellency Say Samal, Minister of Environment, His Excellency Heng Nareth, Director General for Environmental Protection for their kind support in the preparation of this report and the implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project United Nations for Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, The International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) for providing financial and technical support for implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project which this report is part of. Executive Summary In October 2013, Cambodia endorsed the notification of signatory of Minamata Implementation Plan for the UNEP Global Mercury, currently under implementation process. This plan is an indication of a new effort by Cambodia to provide additional guidance in the form of specific goals, objectives and actions for the sound management of mercury. In the Kingdom of Cambodia, the use of hazardous substances, especially the mercury substances are not normally managed in an environmentally sound manner and there is no specific government institution responsible for mercury management. Therefore, management of mercury and mercury-containing wastes in Cambodia is a collaboration of various ministries within a government.
