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 />

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 />
