This proposal is for support to the Royal Government of Cambodia through its National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development Secretariat (NCDD-S) working with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) to test public expenditure management systems for the transfer of specific health functions to newly established District Administrations.

The proposal builds upon the previous experience of United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) support to decentralization reforms, particularly through early implementation of decentralized systems for local development and service delivery, in Cambodia and internationally.

The proposal is presented as a single document but with delivery of activities under two phase approach. While Phase I will be a planning and preparation phase, Phase II will involve implementation and will be subject to the completion of Phase I to the satisfaction of key implementing agencies and funding partners.
