Presentation: Cambodia at
the Crossroads (690kb pdf) |

The Government of Cambodia has just adopted the Rectangular Strategy for Growth, Employment, Equity and Efficiency in Cambodia. This Strategy rightly describes governance as the “most important pre-condition to economic development” in Cambodia. The agenda for the recent Consultative Group Meeting (CG) of December 6-7, 2004 was designed around the Rectangular Strategy and the discussions at the CG focused on the critical policies and investment that are needed to attain the vision for a more prosperous and better governed Cambodia.
The report, Cambodia at the Crossroads - Strengthening Accountability to Reduce Poverty, is the latest World Bank report on Cambodia which focuses on improving governance for strong growth and poverty reduction, looking at growth prospects, public financial accountability, decentralization, natural resource management, private sector development, and aid effectiveness. The report argues that it will take more than the policies set out in the Rectangular Strategy to transform governance in Cambodia so that it is supportive of and not destructive to the development process.
