Enhancing SME in Cambodia’s Economy
Phnom Penh, November 24, 2010 AKP -- “Sustainability of small and medium enterprises through credit provision to support their production is vital to enhance competitive advantage of Cambodia’s economy, especially when the world is recovering from the economic crisis”, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance H.E. Keat Chhon.
The deputy prime minister made the remark while presiding over the 7th International Forum for Chief Executives of Development Finance Institutions held in Siem Reap province on Nov. 18.
The development of small and medium enterprises in Cambodia with the link to financing institutions does not produce satisfactory result yet. To grease the process, the Royal Government of Cambodia has created supporting development framework and institutional structure, improved commercial governance, formulated legal framework, and bettered communication between the government and small and medium enterprises.
Findings show that the small and medium enterprises have difficulty to seek funding support from the banks due to their limited “property deposit” and capacity in developing business plan.
Hosted by Cambodia, the International Forum was committed to identify strategic response to challenges for sustaining financing institution service that supports small and medium enterprises. --AKP

ADB To Improve Dengue, Disease Monitoring in Three Mekong Countries
Phnom Penh, November 24, 2010 AKP -- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is extending US$49 million to expand surveillance response systems to help control dengue outbreaks, and prevent the spread of communicable and tropical diseases in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam, said an ADB press release dated Nov. 23.
The Second Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project, which is an offshoot of the first GMS Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project, will also target improvements in the capacity of health services and communities involved in disease control in border districts of the three countries.
Infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian influenza, and swine flu, have had major economic impacts on productivity, trade, and tourism in Asia and will continue to pose a public health threat. In addition, dengue continues to spread, and communicable diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and HIV/AIDS, as well as tropical illnesses such as Japanese encephalitis and schistosomiasis, pose a major disease burden.
“Preventing these diseases requires better local participation and much more intensive regional cooperation,” said Vincent de Wit, lead health professional in ADB's Southeast Asia Department. He emphasized the necessity of a quick response system and that bringing communicable diseases under control requires cross-border cooperation.
The community-based communicable disease control systems funded by the project are aimed at around 1.7 million people living in 116 border districts in the three countries. About one-third of the population in the target areas belong to ethnic minority groups.
The earlier GMS Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project, initiated in 2005 in partnership with the World Health Organization, came at a timely moment, coinciding with the outbreak of avian influenza, an escalation of dengue, and an emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Lao PDR. It helped strengthen provincial surveillance in the three Mekong countries and gave provinces greater capacity and emergency funding to respond swiftly to disease outbreaks resulting in reduced deaths, medical costs and economic losses.
The new project will build on earlier successes to strengthen surveillance and response mechanisms. Financing will come from ADB's concessional Asian Development Fund with a loan of US$27 million for Viet Nam and grants of US$10 million for Cambodia and US$12 million for Lao PDR. The three countries will provide counterpart support totaling US$5 million equivalent.
The Ministry of Health in each country will be the executing agency for the project, which is due for completion in June 2016. The regional coordination unit will be based in Vientiane. --AKP
