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).

TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE DURING TEST With lack of CMAC transport vehicle big enough to move demining machine from port to the test field and via versa, Transido which is a private transportation company, had been hired to provide this services under close cooperation with CMAC. During transportation, transido took care of transport, safety and insurance while CMAC would conduct the offload and reload the machine to/from truck trailer or to/from ship at international Sihanouk ville port. Road assessment and route selection prior to transportation will be done by CMAC and transido.

To open access road to the test site at Siem Reap, a poor, weak wooden bridge was dismantle and a new concrete bridge strong enough to support the gross weight of the demining machines was constructed. In other area, steel plates had been temporary laid on top of the existing pipe culvert to strengthen the structure and potholes had been refilled by earth/rock or leveled by CMAC bulldozer.

  • 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.
