Policy briefs

We are delighted to share the policy brief on “TOWARDS MORE INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES: Strategies for Promoting Social Inclusion and Equity in Rural Development” developed by Centre for Policy Studies.

The peace dividend has allowed Cambodia to develop its economy continuously over the past few decades, and rural areas have benefited accordingly from this development process. Through the cooperation with SAAMBAT Project (funded by IFAD, European Investment Bank, and the European Union) and Ponlok Chomnes Programme (funded by DFAT, implemented by The Asia Foundation), the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) undertakes a study to review the experience of rural village development in eight villages across eight provinces (two villages of indigenous peoples in Mondul Kiri and Ratanak Kiri) to draw relevant lessons for
further reflection and discussion.

This policy brief particularly highlights key issues and recommendations that seek to improve the inclusiveness of the future rural development in Cambodia.
