Working Papers 35: Where Decentralisation Meets Democracy: Civil Society, Local<br />

Government, and Accountability in Cambodia<br />

Kim Sedara and Joakim Öjendal with the assistance of Ann Sovatha<br />

Cambodia’s national and sub-national governance reforms, particularly on issues of<br />

decentralisation and deconcentration, are at an important stage. At present, the Cambodian<br />

government and its international development partners are involved in complex<br />

negotiations and processes to determine how international development assistance can<br />

best be deployed to support the governance, decentralisation and deconcentration reform<br />

agenda and processes, how to build the capacity of institutions and individuals at the<br />

sub-national level to achieve democratic development outcomes, and how to promote<br />

constructive engagement between civil society and government.<br />

Working Paper 34: Accountability and Neo-patrimonialism in Cambodia: A<br />

Critical Literature Review<br />

In Cambodia, the term ‘accountability’ has moved to the forefront of both the Cambodian<br />

government’s and donor community’s reform agendas. Yet, <strong>CDRI</strong>’s research shows that<br />

the concepts of accountability in Cambodia are understood in many different ways.<br />

Because the conceptualisation and operationalisation of accountability is largely driven by<br />

western public administration experience and thinking, the application of this concept in<br />

Cambodia creates many difficulties for reform agendas and for development outcomes.<br />

Therefore, both the concept and its potential applications need to be contextualised to<br />

reflect the Cambodian situation, and to improve its inclusion and potential pro-poor<br />

impacts in institutional reform efforts.<br />

Kasper K. Hansen and Neth Top<br />

This working paper aims to support improved policy-making on sustainable development,<br />

natural resource management and poverty reduction in Cambodia. It reflects on important<br />

policy challenges and decisions currently facing the Cambodian government in relation<br />

to the future management of the large forest areas left right now in a post-concession<br />

management vacuum. The study analyses current policies promoting large scale conversion<br />
