Working Paper 4: Learning From Rural Development Programmes in Cambodia
Chim Charya, Srun Pithou, So Sovannarith, John McAndrew, Nguon Sokunthea, Pon Dorina and
Robin Biddulph (June 1998)
This paper presents a comparative analysis of six rural development programmes in order
to inform the debate about rural development in Cambodia and provide insights on best
practices. The paper is structured around benefit distribution, community ownership,
sustainability and organisational structure and approach. The study highlights the strengths
and weaknesses of various approaches: large-scale versus small-scale, government versus
non-government, relief versus development, and output versus process.

Working Paper 3: Economic Reform, Structural Adjustment and Development in
Cambodia
K. P. Kannan January 1997
This paper deals with the Structural Adjustment Programme under implementation in
Cambodia. The discussion is set in the context of a legacy of war and the imperatives
of long-term development. It argues that the content of adjustment should be judged by
its impact on the majority of poor people and cautions against uncritical acceptance of
the notion that a market economy, dominated by a private sector, will solve all economic
problems. Evidence is cited of growing inequality between urban and rural areas and
between richer and poor sections of the population.

Working Paper 2: Aid Infusions, Aid Illusions: Bilateral and Multilateral
Emergency and Development Assistance in Cambodia, 1992-1995
John P. McAndrew (January 1996)
This paper explores broad trends in development assistance, with focus given
to areas such as aid pledges and disbursements, aid coordination, and aid policy
framework and its implications for NGO’s. Study findings indicate a lack of
participatory approaches, restriction of Cambodian access to funds, with deficiency in
capacity development. Recommendations are made for increased government leadership,
consideration of the “aid market”, more detailed and participatory planning and
formulation of a long-term anti-poverty strategy.
