    Kingdom of Cambodia Nation - Religion - King Ministry of Health Department of Planning and Health Information Ministry of Health with collaboration of the World Health Organization FOREWORD He(lith sector reform in Cambodia is 90in9 on a step-by-step basis in line with the Public Administrative Reform Program of the Royal Government of Cambodia and within socio-economic context of the country. The purpose cf the reform is to improve the delivery of quality services to the population, especially in remote areas, through the implementation of district health system. The health coverage plan, a part of the whole reform, has been implemented since 1996. This plan designates the location and number of health centers and referral hospitals, and defines the catchment areas for these health facilities to deliver services to the population. At this point, health managers at central, provincial and district ievel have gained many experiences from implementating the health coverage plan and the changes in the reform process. Such experiences are highlighted in these guidelines for improving the development of the national health system to meet the health needs of the population. " Guidelines for Developing Operational Districts " provides principles in various important aspects - such as strategies for improving health services coverage in remote areas, strengthening of organisational structures, optimising the use of resources - through the delivery of i:'ltegrated he~lth cc.r:?. The book also aims to establish a clear direction for health managers at all levels. Such a direction addresses not only the current situation but also the future vision of the developing health system. In practice, we will face constraints and will need times and adequate resources to remove them.

MACHIDA-HIRANO (Genetic Resources Center, NARO) Received Sep. 14, 2020, Accepted Dec. 1, 2020 Corresponding author: K. MATSUSHIMA (e-mail: [email protected]) Summary Under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and Cambodian Agricultural Research and Department Institute (CARDI) have conducted several collaborative explorations in Cambodia since 2014. As part of the project, we surveyed and gathered plant genetic resources in Southern Cambodia from October 1 to 10, 2019. In the survey, we explored the genetic resources in 14 districts of Southern Cambodia in Svay Rieng, Pery Veng, Kandal, Phnom Penh, Kampong Speu, Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, Kampot, and Takeo provinces and collected 85 accessions from farmers’ storages, back yards, or fields. The accessions corresponded to Solanaceae (34), Cucurbitaceae (35), Fabaceae (8), and Amaranthaceae (8). Among 34 Solanaceae accessions, 29 were from C. frutescens. As the present study was conducted in a flood-prone area, vegetable cultivation during the rainy season was low, and flood-tolerant luffa and hyacinth bean were considered important vegetables for cultivation.
