Kampong Cham – 13 July 2011: 40 of the 64 projects of Prey Chhor district’s proposed commune investment programs were supported by line departments and institutions, national NGOs, service providing associations, and private sectors on 30 June 2011 in district’s 2011 planning integration workshop in Kampong Cham province.
According to Srei Saroeun, governor of Prey Chhor district board of governor, 2011 priority investment programs proposed by Prey Chhor district to seek support through line department, generous people, and various organizations have 64 projects, including: 16 economy projects, 13 social affairs projects, 12 natural resource and environment projects, and 23 administration, security, and order projects.
He says provisional result of the integration workshop shows that 40 projects are supported by line departments and institutions, national NGOs, service providing associations, and private sectors, including: 16 economy project, 15 social affairs projects (2 projects externally supported), 5 natural resource and environment projects, and 4 administration, security, and order projects.
With the support from the National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development (NCDD) via Executive Committee (ExCom) of the Provincial Rural Development Committee (PRDC) and in cooperation with provincial planning department, the integration workshop was organized, presided over by Khong Suneng, deputy governor of Kampong Cham board of governor, to align proposed district projects with strategic policy and actions of line departments and institutions, national NGOs, service providing associations, private sectors, generous people to mobilize resources for support to local and district development and contribution to achieve 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG).
The workshop was attended by Prey Chhor district governor, district deputy governors, provincial line departments, NGOs, generous people, district councils, commune councils, officers to district hall, royal arm forces, and police, totaling 68.
“This is the first year for all districts and Khans across the country to organize the workshop on planning integration,” Khong Suneng says. “Thus, we must meet difficulties in proposing projects to meet strategic priority need. That is to say our projects have already been considered, but we have budget constraint. That is why we need to take a close consideration on priority projects (peripheral projects; future projects) in the three-year investment program (2011-2013).”
Khong Suneng requested development agencies supporting the proposed district projects to make more contribution to decentralization and deconcentration reform of the royal government – the second phase – and MDG, particularly good cooperation during each project process.
