  • Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia
    Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia by 1 1 2 Ker Naret , Sem Viryak and Don Griffiths 1. Fishery Officer, Department of Fisheries, and Counterpart of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fisheries Project in Cambodia 2. Chief Technical Advisor, MRC - Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development Project ABSTRACT Fish marketing data are vital for any aquaculture development project because it influences potential supply, demand and distribution channels of fish. The Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development (READ) Cambodian Sub-Component monitored fish prices eight times per month throughout 1999, in representative markets in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo provinces in Cambodia. A total of 90 fish dealers (30 per province) were also interviewed. Results showed that River Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Snakeheads (Channa spp.) and Walking Catfish (Clarias spp.) were the major cultured fish by weight in all markets on sampling days. The quantities of cultured fish traded in Prey Veng markets was less than for Kandal and Takeo markets. In Kandal 38% of fish traded was cultured. Snakeheads (Channa spp.), Goonch (Bagarius bagarius), Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus), Catfish (Mystus spp. and Clarias spp.), Silver Barb (Barbodes gonionotus) and Riel (Henicorhynchus spp.) were the major wild fish species found in each province. Wild fish prices were generally highest from June to August and lowest from December to February. Mackerel (Scomber spp.) was the only marine fish species in the markets of each province. There were greater quantities of Mackerel in Kandal and Takeo than in Prey Veng province, and Mackerel was available year round in Kandal market. The main fish supply channels were through Saang district in Kandal province; Angkor Borei, Bourei Cholsar and Kaoh Andaet districts in Takeo province, and Kampong Leav district in Prey Veng province.

  • Study of Financial Access to Health Services for the Poor in Cambodia
    RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) RESEARCH REPORT Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia Phase 1: Scope, design, and data analysis Dr Peter Leslie Annear (RMIT University) in association with David Wilkinson Men Rithy Chean Maurits van Pelt For the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University 30 April 2006 Phnom Penh Annear: Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia 1 RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) Summary In recent years, a number of health reform proposals have been adopted or pioneered in Cambodia, including official user fees, sub-contracting government health service delivery to non-government providers, and community based health insurance. These health reform measures have acted to reduce the burden of health costs on the poor and to improve access. Fee exemption systems have, though, failed to protect the poor, who have largely been excluded from access to health care due to cost and other barriers. Now, a new model of health financing and relief for the poor has emerged, called health equity funding. Health equity funding has been particularly successful in reducing financial barriers and increasing utilization of government services. Health equity funding appears to be an efficient and effective way to overcome inequalities and extend health service coverage. This report details the findings of new research into health and equity in Cambodia carried out by the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University.

It was extraordinarily well organized, totally substantive and obviously beneficial to the Burundian participants. The Cambodian host organizations were appropriately selected and well- prepared to contribute to the study tour objectives. In retrospect, Cambodia was an ideal choice for the study tour site. There are many similarities between the two countries, yet the contrasts enabled the Burundians to place their own society in a better context. Visits to the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields were stark reminders to the Burundians of the atrocities that occurred in their own country during the 1993-1996 period.

What did he leave behind? My original hypothesis was that Sihanouk was a libertine and ruthless god-king who had immense pride for his country.
