MATSUNAGA (Email: [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project to survey the vegetable genetic resources available in Cambodia. As part of this project, three field surveys of Solanaceae crops were conducted in November 2014, 2015 and 2016 in western, eastern and northern Cambodia, respectively. In November 2017, we conducted a fourth field survey in southern Cambodia, including the Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Kou Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot and Takeo provinces. We collected 56 chili pepper (20 Capsicum annuum, 36 C. frutescens) and 4 eggplant (4 Solanum spp.) fruit samples from markets, farmers’ yards, farmers’ fields and an open space. After harvesting seeds from the collected fruits, the seeds were divided equally and half were conserved in the CARDI and the other half were transferred to the Genetic Resource Center, NARO using the standard material transfer agreement (SMTA).

Introduction to the Province Preah Vihear is located in northern Cambodia, 294 km from Phnom Penh running through National Road No. 6 and 629. The province borders Stung Treng province to the east, Siem Reap province and Oddar Meanchey province to the west, Thailand and Laos to the north and Kampong Thom province to the south. While much of the province is extremely remote and strongly forested, and the province is one of least populated in Cambodia, it is home to three impressive legacies from the Angkorian era: the mountain temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, which is well known as a World Heritage Site, the 10th-century capital of Koh Ker and the mighty Preak Khan. These legacies attract many local and international tourists every year. The provincial economy 85% based on farming and the remaining 15% based on fishing and other sectors. Recently, because of its border with Thailand, international trade has increased slightly, becoming another important sector for the province's economy. The province is endowed with endless natural treasures. With acres of dense, hilly forests and scrub green vegetation, Preah Vihear is indeed an ideal getaway destination to Cambodia’s nature with the breathtaking views over the Dangkrek Mountains and lush jungle from Preah Vihear temples.

  • 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.

  • Trade and Trade Facilitation in the Greater Mekong Subregion
    Trade and Trade Facilitation in the Greater Mekong Subregion The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Program, with support from the MEKONG SUBREGION THE GREATER IN TRADE FACILITATION AND TRADE Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other development partners, has scored impressive gains in promoting regional connectivity over the past 2 decades. Efforts have also been made to strengthen institutions and policies for trade and transport facilitation to increase the impact of the regional physical infrastructure. Trade and Trade Facilitation This book, prepared under an ADB technical assistance project financed by the Australian Agency for International Development, in the Greater Mekong brings together studies highlighting deeper, structural challenges to trade facilitation in the GMS, including need for governance and bureaucratic reforms, trade competitiveness, and improved alignment Subregion of the regional corridors to trade flows. Importance of greater synergy between subregional and regional platforms for trade facilitation, for example between the GMS and ASEAN, is also highlighted. The analyses should be of interest to development practitioners working to improve trade and transport facilitation in the GMS, elsewhere in Asia, and in the rest of the world. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its 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 struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic Edited by growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.
