The NGO community in Cambodia appreciates the opportunity to share its views at the 2001 Consultative Group (CG) Meeting on Cambodia. After almost a decade of participation in these meetings between the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and the multilateral and bilateral donors, the NGOs continue to strive to make a positive contribution to the dialogue on development assistance in Cambodia. The NGOs reaffirm the government's renewed commitment to poverty reduction, as articulated in the RGC's Platform of its Second Term 1998-2003 and the more recent strategic planning documents, the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (I-PRSP) and the Socio-Economic Development Plan II (SEDP II). The NGOs wish to partner with the government and donor community in the process of developing, implementing and monitoring the progress and outcomes of these plans as they pertain to the lives and livelihoods of poor Cambodians. |
