The government's three year plan to cut poverty, the so-called PRSP, has been
sent to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) offices in
Washington. The two multilaterals are currently reviewing the PRSP to see how
good a framework it is for fighting poverty. They will report back to the
government here on February 18 and 19 respectively. The World Bank's office in
Phnom Penh was positive about the document: "From a first look it does look like
it is a document that focuses on poverty reduction," said senior operations
officer Steven Schonberger. The government said the strategy would be formally
launched and distributed during February.
