Public services get $7.67 million boost through World Bank grant
The World Bank has approved two complementary grants totalling $7.67 million to support social accountability in key public services such as health centres, primary schools, and local administrations in 10 provinces in Cambodia.
An announcement on Friday said access to public services in Cambodia has improved considerably in recent years, but quality continues to be a challenge.
The announcement states: “Both grants are intended to support the implementation of the second phase of the Social Accountability Framework (ISAF), which lasts from 2019 to 2023.
“The Framework is an integral part of the government’s decentralisation reform programme, which aims to strengthen the responsiveness of government to citizen needs.”
