Abstract
The over-riding goal of the Royal Government of Cambodia during the third legislature of the National Assembly is to firmly and steadily build Cambodian society by strengthening peace, stability and social order, entrenching Democracy and promoting respect for human rights and dignity. The Royal Government will promote sustainable and equitable development, and strengthen Cambodia’s social fabric to ensure that the Cambodian people are well-educated, culturally advanced, engaged in dignified livelihood and living in harmony in family and society.
In particular, the present Rectangular Strategy is an integrated structure of interlocking rectangles, as follows: First, the core of the Rectangular Strategy is good governance focused at four reform areas: 1) anti-corruption, 2) legal and judicial reform, 3) public administration reform including decentralization and de-concentration, and 4) reform of the armed forces, especially demobilization. Second, the environment for the implementation of Rectangular Strategy consists of four elements: 1) peace, political stability and social order; 2) partnership in development with all stakeholders, including the private sector, donor community and civil society; 3) favourable macro-economic and financial environment; and 4) the integration of Cambodia into the region and the world. Third, the four strategic “growth rectangles” are: 1) enhancement of agricultural sector; 2) private sector growth and employment; 3) continued rehabilitation and construction of physical infrastructure; and 4) capacity building and human resource development. Fourth, each strategic “growth rectangle” has four sides: Rectangle 1: Enhancement of Agricultural Sector which covers: (1) improved productivity and diversification of agriculture; (2) land reform and clearing of mines; (3) fisheries reform; and (4) forestry reform; Rectangle 2: Continued Rehabilitation and Construction of Physical Infrastructure, involving: (1) continued restoration and construction transport infrastructure (inland, marine and air transport); (2) management of water resources and irrigation; (3) development of energy and power grids, and (4) development of Information and Communication Technology; Rectangle 3: Private Sector Growth and Employment covers: (1) strengthened private sector and attraction of investments; (2) promotion of SMEs; (3) creation of jobs and ensuring improved working conditions; and (4) establishment of social safety nets for civil servants, employees and workers; and Rectangle 4: Capacity Building and Human Resource Development, including: (1) enhanced quality of education; (2) improvement of health services; (3) fostering gender equity, and (4) implementation of population policy.
Part 2 deals with good governance laying down provisions relating to fighting corruption, judicial and legal reforms, public administration reform; reform of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.
The text consists of 2 Parts as follows: The Principal Ingredients of the Rectangular Strategy (1); Economic Policy Priorities (2).
