The National Strategic Development Plan, 2006-2010 (NSDP) has been declared the “overarching” document to govern all development investments in the public sector in Cambodia. Paragraphs 5.20 to 5.22 of the NSDP clearly specify the linkages among NSDP, PIPs, MTEF and annual budgets. The NSDP clearly envisages1 that, for achieving the overall strategic goals and targets contained in it, the vehicle would be the three year rolling Public Investment Programme (PIP) containing priority programmes and projects. A PIP is intended to serve important purposes as a primary programming tool, it is the main mechanism for identifying and listing specific projects and activities to achieve the broader sectoral goals and targets specified in the NSDP. It is also the basis to assist CRDB/CDC and all line ministries and agencies to attract and direct EDP assistance to Cambodia for RGC identified priority programmes and projects (including through annual consultations for aid-mobilisation). Moreover, it is the mechanism to be for aligning external resources and RGC’s own investment programmes to nationally identified priorities shown in NSDP, as well as a tool for monitoring the progress of this alignment over time.
