As part of its mandate the Cambodian Rehabilitation and Development Board of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC/CRDB) publishes a Development Cooperation Report (DCR). The purpose of this report is to present a summary of the information on disbursement of Official Development Assistance (ODA) provided by Cambodia’s external development partners. It includes both current and historical information on disbursements of ODA from bi-lateral and multi-lateral development cooperation partners, the International Financial Institutions as well as Non-Government Organizations. The first DCR for Cambodia was issued by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in late 1994 to review development cooperation resources provided to Cambodia for the years 1992/93. From then on the DCRs have been prepared by CDC/CRDB with assistance from UNDP. The information presented in the DCRs is based on data collected by CDC/CRDB each year from development partners on their actual and planned disbursements. Although an effort is made to validate the data, the scope and reliability of the information present in the Development Cooperation Reports depends largely on the quality of data provided by the development cooperation partners. It should be noted, however, that the ODA to Cambodia reported by some of the development partners may include expenditures incurred outside Cambodia. The DCRs have now become an integral part of the documentation that is presented by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) at the Consultative Group meetings. The Development Cooperation Reports are also an important source of information for the Royal Government in its decision-making processes concerning development cooperation resources and for developing appropriate strategies to optimize the use of these resources for achieving Cambodia’s development priorities. This report presents data on Cambodia’s development cooperation partner’s ODA disbursement in the years 2004 and 2005. I would like to thank all development cooperation partners of Cambodia who have provided the data for this report. In particular, I would like to thank UNDP for its technical assistance to CDC/CRDB. This broad based assistance has helped the Royal Government in formulating its policies and institutionalizing processes to manage ODA in order to optimize the benefits of development cooperation resources for our people, to build effective partnerships with our national and international development cooperation partners.
