Realizing this vision will require continued adherence to the values of

263. The “Rectangular Strategy” of the Royal Government of the Third
Legislature of the National Assembly is designed to achieve this Vision.
Soon after the formation of the new Government in July 2004, Samdech Prime
Minister Hun Sen instructed all Government ministries and agencies to
develop plans for implementing the Rectangular Strategy. At the Pre-CG
Meeting held on 10 September 2004 at the Council for the Development of Cambodia, he appealed to the
development partners to work with the concerned ministries and agencies to
establish, through a collaborative process, priorities and prepare actions
plans to implement the policies outlined in the Rectangular Strategy. The
planned seventeen sectoral/thematic Joint Government-Donor Technical Working
Groups under the CG mechanism were tasked to complete this work before the
planned CG Meeting to be held in early December 2004. The priorities for the
implementation of the Rectangular Strategy outlined in the following
sections, therefore, are a work-in-progress and represent the preliminary
work of the concerned ministries and agencies.
