Antecedentes
The UNDP Country Programme Document (CPD) and Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP) 2016-2018 were developed in 2015 and 2016 respectively. This was when Cambodia went through decades of profound and continuous economic and social transformation, political stability, peace and economic vibrancy. Gross domestic product grew at an average annual rate of 8.2 percent from 2000-2010 and at 7.4 percent from 2011-2013, making Cambodia the world’s fifteenth fastest growing economy during the period. Cambodia was transitioning from a low to a lower-middle income country based on the World Bank classification. Against the backdrop of social and economic development, challenges remain. While poverty has declined, those who have escaped from extreme poverty remain highly vulnerable to falling back into poverty. Cambodia’s subsistence farming is vulnerable to climate change. Even though the employment rate is high, the majority of the labor force is engaged in low skill and non-formal sectors. The forest-dependent livelihoods of 40 percent of rural households, including indigenous communities, are adversely affected by degradation of natural resources. Minority groups and other excluded groups such as Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and People Living with HIV (PLHIV) have limited access to social protection schemes and basic services. The capacity of local administrations to perform their functions, to deliver services, and to reach out to and respond to the needs of people requires further strengthening. Gender inequality is an issue in a range of sectors, including formal sector employment, higher education, and representation in public office. Livelihoods in the poorest provinces of the northwest are still at risk due to landmines and explosive remnants of war. The level of Official Development Assistance (ODA) has dropped and is expected to continue to decline as Cambodia prepares for Least Developed Country (LDC) graduation.
UNDP and the Royal Government of Cambodia signed the Country Programme Action Plan 2016-2018 in May 2016. The CPAP was aligned with the government’s priorities as set out in the Rectangular Strategy Phase III, the National Strategic Development Plan 2014-2018 and relevant sector strategic plans that seek to address the aforementioned challenges.
