World Bank Report on Cambodia

Cambodia is emerging from decades of civil war and isolation. Helped by international programs aimed at reducing poverty, international donors this year alone have more than 600 million dollars to help the country.

The World Bank coordinates much of Cambodia's aid plan. By focusing on empowering the poorest people and working with the government, private sector and civil society, assistance efforts are beginning to yield results.

the only way to reduce corruption is for the community to ostracise the culprits: don't talk to them, don't sell to them, don't have anything to do with the. The problem is that nearly every member of the community is interacting with the corrupt; policemen, school teachers and govt. officials. Cut them off, and they will have to change. You cannot imprison the whole country.

It's great that these people "Own" their land but it seems like this is just a way for the World bank to say "Hay we're doing something good!". No one's "given" anything in a Monetary system. They honestly looked like teenagers receiving their first credit cards at the thought of getting equity loans from the bank. All money is created out of debt & you'll be a slave to that debt. There was no mention of providing education for them & in areas with such poverty, low education's almost certain.

That's right - charity is something only Western countries are expected to to do (not forgetting Japan of course). But there are plenty of other wealthy countries that could be sharing this burden including middle eastern oil producers.

This is a form of slavery. Keep poor countries poor and own their debt to make them work for you. Structural Adjustment Programs(SAP's...) are set up to fail, while at the same time making the program installer look good.

How many years will it take them to pay back IMF Loan?

[FafyrdGir]

I don't think putting them into debt is much help unless they're creating income from investment into capital.

the funding are mainly goes to the peri-urban or urban city... where the most hungry poor are mainly in the rural... ...

Why don't you stop this leftist "oh, I am so cool, I am so against establishments" idiocy?

There's nothing with the World Bank helping the poor countries.
