PHNOM PENH, 26 JANUARY 2010: The UN and the Royal Government of Cambodia signed a five-year development assistance plan for 2011-2015.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance H.E. Keat Chhon and UN Resident Coordinator Douglas Broderick, as well as the heads of the 23 UN agencies operating in Cambodia, signed the “UN Development Assistance Framework, 2011-2015”, providing a basis for the planning and coordination of all UN programme activities in Cambodia over the five years leading up to 2015.
The UN Country Team in Cambodia is one of the largest UN country presences globally, with 23 specialised agencies, funds and programmes and just under 1,000 staff implementing projects in every province in the country.
United Nations operations have annually contributed about USD100 million of development aid to Cambodia in recent years.
“The UN in Cambodia looks forward to continuing to work with the Royal Government toward reaching that day when Cambodia announces that the Cambodia Millennium Development Goals have been met and that all people living in Cambodia have the same access to opportunities to lead a full and productive life, irrespective of their race, age, gender, health status, geographical location, socio-economic standing, or political influence,” Mr. Broderick stated.
