The 7th Consultative Group (CG) Meeting on Cambodia ended on December 7, 2004 in Phnom Penh with Government and donors agreeing that Cambodia is indeed, as Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen stated, at a "crossroads in its difficult journey towards sustainable development and poverty reduction." The time has come, all agreed, to move beyond action plans and strategies to decisive implementation of a comprehensive reform program With the theme "Promoting Good Governance for Poverty Reduction," the agenda for this CG was designed around the Rectangular Strategy and the discussions at the meeting focused on the critical policies and investment that are needed to attain the vision for a more prosperous and better governed Cambodia. Co-chaired by the Royal Government of Cambodia and the World Bank, the CG is a group of donors who meet annually with the Government to discuss issues of development, growth and poverty reduction, and reform.
