<strong>CDRI</strong>’s Mission<br />
As an independent Cambodian development policy research institute, the<br />
mission of the Cambodia Development Resource Institute (<strong>CDRI</strong>) is to<br />
contribute to Cambodia’s sustainable development and the well-being of its<br />
people through the generation of high quality policy-relevant development<br />
research, knowledge dissemination and capacity building.<br />
<strong>CDRI</strong> works to achieve this mission in partnership with Cambodian public<br />
institutions and civil society, and their regional and international development<br />
partners, with respect for the capacity of the Cambodian people and their<br />
institutions, for the value of local knowledge and experience and for Cambodia’s<br />
history and culture.<br />
What We Do<br />
<strong>CDRI</strong> works to produce independent, objective, high quality policy-relevant<br />
development research, to maximise its accessibility to policy makers, influencers<br />
and stakeholders and to have it affect policy in five interrelated areas that are<br />
key for Cambodia’s sustainable development:<br />
• economy, trade and regional cooperation<br />
• poverty, agriculture and rural development<br />
• democratic governance and public sector reform<br />
• natural resources and the environment<br />
• social development.<br />
<strong>CDRI</strong> has as its governing body, an independent board of directors comprising<br />
people of Cambodian and international backgrounds acting in their individual<br />
capacities. <strong>CDRI</strong> management is responsible and accountable to its board on<br />
all strategic, management and financial matters.<br />
<strong>CDRI</strong> undertakes its programmes and projects in partnership with<br />
Cambodian government agencies and their international development<br />
partners, other research and tertiary education institutions and civil society<br />
organisations. To support its research and capacity building, it also offers<br />
library, information and publishing services, and both hosts and participates<br />
in local and international conferences, seminars and training programmes on<br />
development issues. The publishing services, as this catalogue demonstrates,<br />
print and circulate a wide range of publications in both Khmer and English<br />
languages, providing important facts and analyses of current development<br />
issues in Cambodia to a broad readership. Over the years, <strong>CDRI</strong>’s publications<br />
have gained recognition as a valuable resource not only for government, civil<br />
society and the research community, but also for development agencies and<br />
the private sector.<br />
