The Cambodian Millennium Development Goals (CMDGs)

Building on medium-term planning exercises in 2002 and 2003 (the SEDP-II and NPRS), in 2003 the MoP took a further step in setting medium-term targets and defining national M&E indicators when it developed its own set of national development goals for 2015.  These were based on the Millennium Development goals (MDGs) agreed at the United National Millennium Summit in 2000 (to which Cambodia, along with all other countries, was a signatory); but also incorporated some changes to adapt the global MDGs to the context of Cambodia.

In 2005, the CMDGs were comprehensively incorporated into the new National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2006-2010 as the framework for defining priority goals for 2010.  This was fed through into the specification of NSDP baseline and target indicators (NSDP Table 3.2 and Annex I:1, and the subsequent 2006  NSDP Monitoring Framework document).  

This target-setting exercise in the NSDP drew on detailed analysis in an October 2005 MoP document, Achieving the Cambodia Millennium Development Goals: 2005 update.  Summarising this analysis, the NSDP provided a convenient synopsis of progress towards the CMDG targets up to 2005:

Achievements Shortfalls
  • Significant improvements in poverty rates in urban and more accessible rural areas.
  • Expansion of primary education to more children.
  • Significant reduction in mortality rates for both infants and under-five year olds.
  • Improved immunization against major childhood diseases.
  • Improved breastfeeding rates.
  • Reduction of gender disparity in most areas especially in primary education, adult literacy, and wage employment in agriculture and industry.
  • Noteworthy reduction of communicable diseases, especially HIV/AIDS.
  • Improved urban access to safe water and rural access to improved sanitation.
  • High rural poverty rates.
  • Failure to increase net enrolments at higher levels and achieve high survival rates at all levels of education.
  • Limited progress in achieving the goals of universal nine-year basic education particularly those beyond primary education.
  • Gender disparity in secondary and tertiary education.
  • Persistent high levels of domestic violence against women.
  • Access to quality health services especially in case of women and maternal health.
  • Environmental degradation, especially forest depletion and water resources.
  • Persistence of high human casualties from landmines and UXOs.
