  • with promotion of economic development and welfare as the main
  • bjective;
  • at concessional financial terms (if a loan, having a grant element of at least

25%). In addition to financial flows, technical co-operation is included in aid.

  • 2. Terms of donor assistance:

A pledge is usually a political announcement of intent on behalf of a donor to contribute a certain amount to a certain area. A commitment is a firm obligation, expressed in writing and backed by the necessary funds, undertaken by an official donor to provide specified assistance to a recipient country or a multilateral organisation. A disbursement is the release of funds to or the purchase of goods or services for a recipient; by extension, the amount thus spent.

  • 3. Aid for Trade (AfT) definition is:
  • a global initiative, established in 2005, which aims to strengthen the

capacity of developing countries to better participate in and benefit from the global trade system by making trade a means to achieve sustainable development and poverty reduction.

  • From a financial point of view, AfT refers to all official development

assistance (ODA) finance for trade development, independently from the economic sectors it is channelled to.

  • 4. AfT Objective:
  • strengthening developing countries’ productive capacity;
  • tackling their supply side constraints; and
  • addressing their needs in trade-related infrastructure.
  • 5. AfT Categories were given a fairly broad definition based on the

following five categories

 Trade Policy and Regulations;  Trade-related Infrastructure  Building Productive Capacity and Trade Development;  Trade-related Adjustment;  Other Trade-related Needs.

Brief background of Trade SWAp

  • Cambodia became an EIF member country in 1998
  • In Jul 2001, RGC presented a “Pro-Poor Trade Sector Strategy” during the Donor

Roundtable Meeting in Tokyo;

  • Tokyo meeting endorsed the preparation of the country’s first Diagnostic Trade

Integration Strategy (DTIS) under Integrated Framework (IF) program for LDCs;

  • The Study started in the second half of 2001. Cambodia was the first pilot

countries to complete DTIS under the IF and which was validated in Nov 2001;

  • Since 2006, MoC, UNDP and DPs prepared Cambodia Trade Integration Strategy

(CTIS);

  • Cambodia’s DTIS was subsequently updated and validated in December 2007.

This is first DTIS update.

  • RGC endorsed CTIS in Dec 2007;
  • MoC was restructured in Sep 2007; and DICO was established in Sep 18, 2007 by

MoC Prakas No. 213 MOC/SM2007

  • Trade SWAp was launched in 2008 to implement the objectives of CTIS 2007;
  • CTIS 2014-2018 was subsequently updated and officially launched on 18 Feb
  • 2014. This is second DTIS update and Cambodia is the first country to do so.
  • MoC was restructured again on 19 Mar 2014 by Sub-degree No. 131. This new

structure aims at preparing for AEC 2015;

Tier 2 projects Technical Review Pre-DTIS DTIS/DTIS updates Support to NIA’s projects

Aims at sensitizing national stakeholders (FP, potential NSC members), key government, private sector and civil society representative about the importance of mainstreaming trade, roles and functions within the EIF process, role of the DTIS and how to best ensure full country ownership and participation in the DTIS process. Funding up to $50,000. DTIS is the cornerstone for integrating trade into development plans. It identifies the constraints blockages access to the multilateral trading

  • system. Includes an action matrix. Aggregate funding up to $400,000 for

DTIS and $400,000 for updates. NIA project provides support to increasing the institutional capacity for trade mainstreaming, donor coordination and implementation of the

  • matrix. They can be up to five years and $300,000 per year.

UNDP – Cassava

Impact #1: Cassava is Cambodia’s second largest crop employing several hundred thousand farmers. Positive development of the sector supports Cambodia’s efforts to meet its MDGs through improved income of farmers Outcome #1: The needs of the cassava export sector are better understood and the sector is structured to better focus the policy dialogue with the Government and improve the enabling environment; No. Outputs #1 A working group of cassava processors and collectors is organized and an agenda of key issues is identified (including, but not limited to, updated study of value chain and export opportunities; availability of standards; SPS needs; environmental issues; others) #2 An up-to-date Cassava Value Chain study is prepared. The study focuses on the two main components of the export value chain: export of cassava chips; and, export of processed cassava (starch, flour, ethanol,

  • ther). SPS requirements for key export markets are identified.

#3 The current ISC standards for cassava (currently 2 standards) are reviewed and updated if/as needed. Additional standards are developed if needed. #4 A manual on export procedures/trade facilitation issues for cassava-based products has been prepared and is disseminated #5 Association(s) is (are) created and engaged in G-PSF discussions if working group created under Output 1 and work carried out under Outcome 2 indicates that the sector is ready for such. #6 Formal dialogue mechanism(s) between cassava private sector and Government is (are) identified and implemented

slide-81

UNDP – Cassava

Impact #2: The competitiveness of Cambodian cassava increases resulting in opening of new markets (geographical and products) and improved pricing of its exports Outcome# 2: A group of cassava processors has been identified and made export-ready and has succeeded in developing competitive exports to new markets No. Outputs #1 One (several) groups of processors and collectors (and exporters) is/are identified for in-depth support to strengthen their export readiness. The targets under this outcome are processors and collectors of dried chips. #2 A survey of SPS needs is carried out for each pilot group of processors identified under output 1. A plan to assist processors and collectors in meeting SPS requirements for key target export markets is developed. #3 SPS plan is implemented successfully during the project #4 A survey of environmental risk and mitigation needs is developed for the pilot groups of processors. A plan to support implementation of environmental remediation strategies by the target group is developed and disseminated. #5 The project helps implement a number of low-cost, economically sustainable remedial solutions to address some of the negative environmental impacts of cassava cultivation among a pilot group of processors (including expansion of crop rotation, proper use of fertilizers, other methods) #6 Three new potential markets have been identified by groups of export-ready processors (through direct visits or participation to international buyer-seller markets/trade fairs)

UNIDO– Marine Fisheries Products

Impact #1: Fisheries, including marine fisheries, are one of Cambodia Government’s priority sectors for export

Conclusions and Recommendations

  • Main Conclusions:
  • TDSP is well on its way to achieve the overall
  • bjectives of the project.
  • It is unlikely that the project will fully utilize the

allocated funds at the end of the project – perhaps €1 million will remain unspent.

  • TDSP has made many achievements which put

Cambodia as the front runner of ASEAN and LDCs.

  • Further trade reforms &capacity building are

required – Cambodia could have a demonstration effect for ASEAN Member States and other LDCs.

  • Will be a good investment for EU, WB and other

interested donors to continue their efforts in order to ensure the sustainability of TDSP.

Conclusions and Recommendations

  • Key Recommendations:
  • EU, WB and other donors should continue

investing in Cambodia in this strategic trade sector

  • In addition to trade policy and regulations, future

trade projects should address the productive capacity, particularly the agriculture and SMEs

  • Private sector participation should be strongly

encouraged in future trade projects

  • Future trade projects could be closely linked with

ASEAN/CLMV regional trade programs – ARISE+

  • Approach unconventional donors for their

interests (for example, Canada, China)

  • Promote Cambodia’s leadership role in ASEAN and

WTO/LDC group on trade matters
