Cambodia Country Poverty Analysis 2014

Vulnerability to poverty has increased, and urban poverty may be rising. New official poverty lines introduced in 2013 show that the poverty rate fell sharply from 2007 to 2012 (47.8% to 18.9%) respectively. Observably, although the poverty rate is falling down, the living condition of people is not better. There are some reasons against this argument. First, the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. Second, the natural resources were destroyed including deforestation, land concession, legal mining, and so on. Third, landslide migration to other countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, China, and Taiwan. Last but not least, Business investments were less open, but imports are from Vietnam and Thailand.

Corruption and Cambodia's Governance System

Cambodia has been scored as the worst country in term of corruption amongst ASEAN countries as well as in the world. Although, Cambodia government is trying their utmost to fight corruption through one window services (ombudsman), corruption is finding different way to go. Score: 100 is good, but Cambodia has been scored max 50 in each pillar.

The study focuses on 13 core governance institutions (or pillars), considered essential for upholding a strong system of integrity: the Legislature, Executive, Judiciary, Public Sector, Law Enforcement Agencies, National Election Committee, Ombudsman, National Audit Authority, Political Parties, Media, Civil Society and Business. Alterations have been made to the international research framework regarding the Ombudsman pillar; sub-national complaints receiving mechanisms have been assessed because Cambodia does not have a national level ombudsman.
