NGO STATEMENT TO THE 2001 CONSULTATIVE GROUP 
MEETING ON CAMBODIA

CONCLUSION
 

CONTENTS

 


Cambodian society has undergone major changes in the last decade. Important policy reforms are underway to support the continued progress in the economic, social and political development of Cambodia. The NGO community recognizes the importance of institutional development and policy reform, yet we wish to remind donors and the government of the challenge to create conditions for the just and equitable development of Cambodia. The focus on systems and efficiency should ultimately lead to improved lives of ordinary Cambodians, especially the poor and vulnerable. 

It is vital for all institutions and individuals who are concerned with the situation of the poorest to carefully analyze and monitor the reforms in order to assess their impact on the poor. We support the development of simple meaningful indicators to measure how laws and policies are implemented ( ie governance ), whether civil servants actually have the capacity to deliver goods and services ( ie human resource development ) - and improvements in people's ability to enhance their livelihoods (ie reaching the poor ). 

The Royal Government of Cambodia has continued to create opportunities for increased participation for civil society in its democratic processes to build a better society for Cambodians. The NGO community welcomes any opportunity to further improve their coordination and partnerships with government, donors and local communities in supporting the national development programs of Cambodia.
