Cambodia and Asian Development Bank – Partnership for Inclusive Growth: Development Effectiveness Brief
Abstract
Description
This publication outlines the results of the multilateral development partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Cambodia over the years.
It explores how ADB interventions have made a difference in the lives of people in the country. Over the past 20 years, Cambodia has achieved remarkable economic development, attaining middle-income status in 2016 and reducing poverty rate from 47.8% in 2007 to 13.5% in 2014. As Cambodia’s largest multilateral development partner, ADB’s completed projects between 2010 and 2016 have provided electricity, improved water supply and delivered new or improved sanitation to thousands of rural households and constructed or upgraded more than 1,000 kilometers of roads.
