Good governance is critical for
\nCambodia’s future. Over the last decade, during transition toward liberal
\ndemocracy and a market economy, Cambodia\u2019s policy-makers, donors and civil
\nsociety have recognised that strengthening good governance is imperative if
\nCambodia is to sustain socio-economic development. The
\ncurrent study, which was commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB),
\nconsiders how to promote good governance for sustainable development in
\nCambodia. The analysis and findings from the study aim to contribute insights
\nfor policy-making by the Royal Government of Cambodia. It also identifies some
\nkey areas and strategies of assistance for ADB and other donors to consider. This independent study entailed extensive
\nconsultations and interviews with many people from the Royal Government of
\nCambodia, the National Assembly, the Senate, the Judiciary, the media,
\nbusinesses, civil society organisations, and international donor agencies. Governance is defined in this study as the manner
\nin which power is exercised in the management of a country\u2019s economic and
\nsocial resources for development. States with good governance exercise their
\npowers through state institutions and organisations that are accountable and
\ntransparent to the general public. They also exercise powers based on the rule
\nof law, which are therefore predictable to the public. Furthermore, states with
\ngood governance are adept at promoting people\u2019s participation in the
\ndevelopment process and policymaking. Throughout the current Report, governance
\nstructures and key governance reforms are examined from the perspective of
\nthose four elements in governance \u2013 account[1]ability,
\ntransparency, predictability, and participation. <\/p>\n
This
\nstudy covers three domains of governance structure: (i) the public sector; (ii)
\ncivil society; and (iii) the media. The broad scope of this study has at least
\ntwo merits. First, it can help to articulate strategic programming at the
\nproject (or micro) level within the overall pic[1]ture
\nof governance. Second, the broad scope helps to analyse the interface between
\nthe public sector and civil society, a critical and often under-emphasised
\nelement in promoting good governance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
