柬埔寨在减贫方面的国家经验

Cambodia’s National Experiences in Poverty Reduction

自柬埔寨王国政府1993年成立以来,减贫一直是其工作的重中之重。本文分析了柬埔寨经历的贫困阶段以及柬埔寨政府采取的减贫行动,并通过评估其取得的进展和面临的挑战,讨论了过去25年柬埔寨政府为减贫所作的努力。虽然柬埔寨政府在帮助柬埔寨人民摆脱贫困方面的一贯努力和成就得到了认可,但脱贫尚未成功仍需继续努力。对于柬埔寨政府而言,解决结构性障碍的任务依然艰巨,即要解决贫困群体缺乏有形资产和人力资产、经济增长资产和公共资产等问题,并确保发展的可持续和包容性渗透到基层人民。要实现到2030年将全国贫困率降至6%的可持续发展目标,柬埔寨政府必须实施有效的政策,支持使公共利益最大化的社会管理方法,坚决贯彻执行扶贫战略,以减少多年来困扰贫困群体的基本障碍。最后,本文提出了解决柬埔寨贫困根源的几点建议。

Poverty reduction has always been a top priority for the Royal Government of Cambodia(RGC)since its formation in 1993.The paper describes various stages of poverty with concurrent national initiatives undertaken by RGC and discusses the government efforts in order to reduce poverty in Cambodia for the past two decades and a half by assessing its progress and challenges.While RGC’s consistent efforts and achievements in lifting Cambodians from poverty are recognized,the glass is still half empty.Daunting tasks remain for RGC to address structural impediments that the poor have often lacked namely,physical and human assets,economic growth and public assets and to ensure that development is sustained and inclusive filtering down to the base.For Cambodia to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals(SDG)target of reducing national poverty to 6%by 2030,there is a need for RGC to sustain its firm commitment in implementing pro-poor strategies through the application of effective policies backing up with the practice of good governance in order to reduce essential barriers that the poor have persistently encountered.At the end,the paper offers various sets of recommendations to tackle the root cause of poverty in Cambodia.
