3.7 DISBURSEMENTS BY PROVINCE IN 2002 AND
2003
61. The Royal Government needs reliable information on the regional
distribution of the ODA to ensure that ODA supported activities are in
line with the Government's regional development priorities. In its annual
surveys on External Development Assistance for the years 2002 and 2003,
the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) has been attempting to
collect information on the geographic location of the
activities/beneficiaries of ODA supported activities. It appears that
some development partners have been having difficulties in providing this
information. In the year 2002, the geographic location of program/project
activities/beneficiaries was "not reported" for 11.9 percent of ODA
disbursed in 2002 (Table 13). In 2003, for 20.5 percent of the ODA that
has been reported to have been disbursed information on the geographic
location of the program/project activities was "not reported".
Notwithstanding the relatively high proportion of ODA for which geographic
location has not been reported, the data does provide some insights. In
view of the importance of this information, CDC would like to request its
development partners to make a serious attempt to provide this information
in completing future annual surveys of External Development Assistance.
