Background |
|
Cambodia is undergoing many transitions – an emergent Middle-Income Country, with a growing middle class supported by a rapidly growing economy; and deeper level changes given by societal modernization and the twin processes of industrialization and urbanization. Its development transformation from a near-history of conflict and social dislocation is dramatic. With economic growth (pre-Covid19), topping 7 per cent per year and a relatively equitable income distribution, poverty has declined dramatically to just 13.5% in 2014, and is likely to be below 10% today. This is a time of opportunity, but also one of turbulence. Two key social policy challenges are the emergence of: (1) a large group of near-poor and vulnerable households, with incomes just above the poverty line; and (2) a remaining group of hard-to-reach extreme poor, often living in remote areas. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has recognized these issues with the launch of the National Social Protection Policy Framework (NSPPF). Among other measures, UNDP has responded by developing research on the adoption of graduation-based social protection programmes. These innovative interventions offer assets and a support package to poor households in place of cash alone, enabling the poor to escape poverty through their own productive efforts. During 2020, UNDP will deliver a large operational pilot under which a Cambodian graduation package would be field-tested using a rigorous Randomized Control Trial (RCT) methodology. RCT results and operational learnings will be used to enable and inform the adoption of a similar approach by RGC at scale. Additionally, in recent weeks, Cambodia, is set to face a severe economic downturn due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. While there has not been a major outbreak in Cambodia, the demand shock will have significant consequences for livelihoods and poverty. UNDP, with other UN agencies, is supporting RGC policy response, and the graduation pilot will likely require adaptions to enable delivery under restricted conditions, and to meet post-Covid social protection policy objectives.
