Development Cooperation & Partnerships Strategy 2014-2018

To ensure that Cambodia reaches the development goals that have been identified in the Rectangular Strategy – Phase III, the Royal Government will implement its development policies and strategies in an effective and coherent manner. These policies and strategies must, in turn, be associated with a rigorous framework for monitoring results and a commitment to development effectiveness. In addition, and to further strengthen the Royal Government’s ownership and leadership over the national development agenda, Cambodia has joined with a wide range of development actors at the global level to establish the Busan partnership for development effectiveness. For Cambodia, the Royal Government has contextualized and applied the global norms and actions agreed in Busan so that they are relevant to Cambodia development needs. This Development Cooperation and Partnerships Strategy has therefore been produced to define development effectiveness in the Cambodia context as well as to set out priority actions for development partners and to establish working arrangements for the period 2014-2018.
