Cambodia, sector-specific investment strategy and action plan: pilot study results

Part of a series of six country pilot studies, carried out by UNCTAD in collaboration with other agencies of the inter-agency working group (IAWG) as phase two of the program of work on “Indicators for measuring and maximizing economic value added and job creation from private investment in specific value chains.”1 The objectives of this report are: 1). To help refine the indicator methodology developed by the IAWG for the G20 and to provide guidance for the meaningful use of development impact indicators in the formulation of policy recommendations in the area of investment. 2.) To provide advice to policymakers in Cambodia on attracting and benefiting from private investment in a pre-selected economic sector. This advice, in the form of recommendations arising from the analysis below, must be considered against the backdrop of the wider strategic development and investment policy framework of the country.
