Development Cooperation and Partnerships Report

As a newly classified Lower-Middle Income Country (LMIC), Cambodia is seeking to consolidate and maintain its impressive track record of socio-economic progress. But realizing Cambodia‟s 2030 aspirations, especially in the face of fast-changing global development landscape, demands a broad and holistic development vision that specifies national development plans in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In this evolving context, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has reviewed the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2014-2018 to identify critical issues and guide the next-step national planning implementation. The RGC recognizes that development cooperation and partnerships, especially external development cooperation, remains particularly important for national socio-economic development agendas, and serves as catalyst in leveraging other sources of development finances to further promote inclusive growth and sustainable development of Cambodia.
