Project Description

The goal of the project is to support the capacity development of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and strengthen the foundations for good governance and aid coordination. The goal is to ensure that development assistance makes the maximum possible contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and targeted development results in Cambodia. The objective of the programme is to consolidate and strengthen the RGC’s capacity to build effective partnerships and to establish effective working practices with national and international stakeholders to deliver development results in accordance with the MDGs and national development priorities.
