 This review presents rural infrastructure indicators for telecommunications; electricity and heat; water, wastewater, solid waste, and drainage; and roads for Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Mongolia. A rapid assessment of the current state of infrastructure in the rural areas is provided through key infrastructure indicators. The utility of the collected data and ease of regular updates are also suggested where sufficient data warrants.
With the collected data, and the findings outlined in the report "The Poverty–Environment Nexus in Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic" by Susmita Dasgupta, Uwe Deichmann, Craig Meisner, and David Wheeler of DECRG (see below), a clear link among poverty, infrastructure service level, quality of life, environmental issues, and health is presented. This link is visible in both urban and rural settings. The rural indicators are presented here along with national indicators gleaned from public sources.
Table A.1 provides national health, education, and poverty indicators for Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Mongolia and comparisons with East Asia and the Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development country averages.
