Working Paper Series No. 38: Accountability and Public Expenditure Management
in Decentralised Cambodia
Pak Kimchoeun and David Craig
Public sector accountability has moved to the forefront of both government and
donor concerns in recent years. This paper is about accountability in Cambodia’s public
expenditure management (PEM), within the wider context of Cambodia’s decentralisation
and deconcentration reforms. It sets out to understand accountability as it currently exists
in sub-national PEM, and to suggest what needs to be done to enhance it.

Working Paper 36: Youth Migration and Urbanisation in Cambodia
Lim Sovannara
Moving from one place to another is always risky, especially for young workers.
Undoubtedly, there are pressing reasons behind this huge movement of young people
from rural to urban areas. Aiming to fill the current knowledge gaps, this study has five
specific objectives: (a) to understand the socio-economic background of young migrants’
households; (b) to identify the factors and circumstances that promote migration; (c) to
examine the role of social networks in facilitating migration; (d) to discover the types
of employment in urban areas for young migrants and their integration into the urban
setting; (e) to understand relations with the sending household and the impact on poverty
in the sending household and community.
