Impact Stories from Cambodia: The Heart of Development
Asian Development Bank | November 2010
Abstract
Cambodia is a land rich in natural resources, people, and culture. As the country's largest multilateral development partner, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) works to promote inclusive growth in Cambodia, particularly in the poorest rural areas. This collection shows the benefits of ADB support across major areas of assistance, by telling the stories of people whose lives have been transormed. Whether through the preservation of the unique ecosystem and fisheries in the Tonle Sap Basin, in the heart of Cambodia, or better roads that draw in tourists to the countriy's ancient sites and create more employment opportunities, ADB projects have touched lives and fueled economic growth for all.
