Since the mid-1990s the economy has been growing steadily; by 2006, per-capita incomes were double the 1998 level and the incidence of poverty had been significantly reduced. Social indicators have improved, generally to above the average for low-income countries, but are still well below those for most Southeast Asian countries. The Bank has focused on governance issues with increasing intensity in each succeeding country assistance strategy, and has worked with other donors in a number of areas. Progress has been made on certain governance-related issues such as public financial management, including expenditure reorientation, the poverty focus in health and education services, and support for decentralized, community-based development programs. 2015-10-08T17:59:35Z 2015-10-08T17:59:35Z 2010 Book http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/10/25126737/cambodia-ieg-country-assistance-evaluation-1999-2006 978-1-60244-134-7 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22739 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Publication East Asia and Pacific Cambodia
