Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints
Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints Cambodia’s economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, and poverty reduction has made significant progress. In the 2000s, the contribution of agriculture and agro-industry to overall economic growth has come largely through the accumulation of factors of production—land and labor—as part of an extensive growth of activity, with productivity modestly improving from very low levels. Despite these generally positive signs, there is justifiable concern about Cambodia’s ability to seize the opportunities presented. The concern is that the existing set of structural and institutional constraints, unless addressed by appropriate interventions and policies, will slow down economic growth and poverty reduction. These constraints include (i) an insecurity in land tenure, which inhibits investment in productive activities; (ii) low productivity in land and human capital; (iii) a business-enabling environment that is not conducive to formalized investment; (iv) underdeveloped rural roads and irrigation infrastructure; (v) a finance sector that is unable to mobilize significant funds for agricultural and rural development; and (vi) the critical need to strengthen public expenditure management to optimize scarce resources for effective delivery of rural services. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its Rural Development developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million for Cambodia struggling on less than $1.25 a day. -

Indeed, an effective health information system contrib- utes significantly to effective monitoring and evaluation of the progress of health system development in Cambodia . This 13th National Health Statistics Report provides a wide range of information to all information users. Health care providers, managers and others at all levels are increasingly using health information obtained through the National Health Information system not merely for management of health service delivery and planning, but also for monitoring and evaluation of their activities and programs. The Ministry of Health would like to take this opportunity to thank all partners, provincial and municipal health departments , other concerned departments and centers, as well as various organizations for their collaboration in making this edition possible.

In the organization of the inter-ministerial committee I saw only three ministries as members, which did not include ministry of Environment. So I want to know what each ministry does on the environmental issue? A: I would like to respond to this question. As you know at this stage is a study stage. We have a concern over the social and natural environmental impacts as you mentioned. And the IRC has only 3 ministries as members, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Urbanization. Why not include the MoE in this committee? The MPWT is working a step in advance before the IRC examine the environmental impacts. This was agreed between JICA Study Team and MPWT. We have prepared and exchanged documents and sent the scope of works to MoE. -

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.
