Cambodia Development Resource Institute 2016-2021 Cambodia Development Resource Institute 2016-2021 - Cambodian Development Resource Institute 2016-2021 In April 2016, the Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) submitted the project proposal "CDRI-Sida Partnership" for the period July 2016 to June 2021. The proposal builds on the support that Sida has provided to CDRI since the early 1990s. The application is based on CDRI's strategic plan for 2016-2021 and with the support of the activities proposed by the proposal, the goals according to the strategic plan are expected to be achieved. The support is intended - like previous support - to be given in the form of a so-called "core support" (operational support) to the research institution with a focus on five main themes: agriculture, economics, education, environment and administration. CDRI's evidence-based research results are of high quality and can thus contribute with evidence-based basis for policy decisions, reforms and advocacy work at both central and local level.

The total budget for Sida's planned support corresponds to SEK 25.5 million, of which SEK 500,000 is set aside and used by Sida to carry out a mid-term review in 2019. Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) insände i april 2016 projektförslaget "CDRI-Sida Partnership" för perioden juli 2016 till juni 2021. Förslaget bygger vidare på det stöd som Sida har gett till CDRI sedan början av 1990-talet. Ansökan utgår från CDRI:s strategiska plan för 2016-2021 och med stöd av de aktiviteter som förslaget föreslår, så väntas målen enligt strategiska planen uppnås. Stödet avses - likt föregående stöd - att ges i form av ett så kallat "kärnstöd" (verksamhetsstöd) till forskningsinstitutionen med fokus på fem huvudteman: jordbruk, ekonomi, utbildning, miljö och förvaltning. CDRI:s evidensbaserade forskningsresultat håller hög kvalitet och kan därmed bidra med evidensbaserade underlag för policybeslut, reformer och påverkansarbete på både central och lokal nivå.     

Den totala budgeten för Sidas planerade stöd motsvarar SEK 25,5 miljoner varav SEK 500 000 avsätts och används av Sida för att genomföra en halvtidsöversyn under 2019. The following four outcomes have been identified for the intervention:1) To generate independent, scientific and high quality policy-relevant research outputs that contribute to Cambodia's development in the areas of Agriculture; Economy; Education; Environment; Governance and Health, taking into account cross-cutting ussues such as inclusive growth, sustainability and gender equality;2) To maximise CDRI's influence on policy formulation through the increased availability and accessability of targeted policy materials that engage decision-makers;3) To strengthen and internal and external research capacity and advance the research Culture in Cambodia and offer capacity development related to CDRI's research;4) To build a more sustainable future for CDRI through the deepening of its "Cambodianisation" agenda; the recruitment and retention of competent, committed, responsible and accountable staff; and a systematic and pragmatic resource mobilisation strategy.
