This paper discusses the progress made
by Cambodia from the early 90s to 2007, in reduction of
poverty incidence. Reduced poverty occurred in both urban
and rural areas, and was experienced by rich and poor, and
by men and women. Households, including those in the poorest
groups, have improved their housing quality, increased
ownership of motorbikes, televisions, and mobile phones, and
are better able to access and afford schools and healthcare.
However, the study warns about complacency, because poverty
is still pervasive in the rural areas, and a
multi-dimensional approach is needed to tackle it. The gap
in income and opportunities remains wide between the rich
and the poor, the urban and rural regions and more
importantly, within the rural areas themselves. The report
concludes that it is clear that Cambodia has made
substantial improvements in the information systems
available to guide public policy. The next step is to
improve coordination among the information sources and
develop a national information system that allows for the
combined use of information and the setting of priorities
based on an assessment of needs and existing gaps in the
country. To address these problems, an evaluation of the
quality, relevance and use of information produced in
Cambodia is necessary in order to establish standards and
identify areas of improvement. |
