... See More + These studies benefit from a close coordination and collaboration with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) that focused its assessment on transport infrastructure and connectivity.

The development objective of the Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Project for Cambodia is to increase access to piped water supply and improved sanitation services and strengthen the operational performance of service providers in selected towns or areas.
... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) all work will be carried out in a safe and disciplined manner designed to minimize impacts on neighboring residents and environment; (2) keep surrounding environment (roads, paths) free of debris to minimize dust; (3) construction noise will be limited to restricted times agreed to in the permit; (4) the site will establish appropriate erosion and sediment control measures such as hay bales and or silt fences to prevent sediment from moving off site and causing excessive turbidity in the lake; (5) construction wastes will be separated from general refuse, organic, liquid, and chemical wastes by on-site sorting and stored in appropriate containers; (6) the wastes will be transported by specially licensed carriers and disposed in a licensed facility; and (7) ensure traffic management system and staff training, especially for site access and near-site heavy traffic.

Resettlement Plan SFG4669 SEP 01, 2018

This paper reports on a randomized experiment to investigate the long-term effects of a primary school scholarship program in rural Cambodia. In 2008, fourth-grade students in 207 randomly assigned schools (103 treatment, 104 control) received scholarships based on the students' academic performance in math and language or their level of poverty.
... See More + Three years after the program's inception, an evaluation showed that both types of scholarship recipients had more schooling than nonrecipients; however, only merit-based scholarships led to improvements in cognitive skills. This new study reports impacts, nine years after program inception, on the educational attainment, cognitive skills, socioemotional outcomes, socioeconomic status and well-being, and labor market outcomes of individuals who are, on average, 21 years old. The results show that both types of scholarships led to higher long-term educational attainment (about 0.21-0.29 grade level), but only merit-based scholarships led to improvements in cognitive skills (0.11 standard deviation), greater self-reported well-being (0.18 standard deviation), and employment probability (3.4 percentage points). Neither type of scholarship increased socioemotional skills. The results also suggest that there are labeling effects: the impacts of the scholarship types differ even for individuals with similar characteristics.
