Health and development experts from developing countries including Cambodia met with US policymakers in Washington this week to find means for more effective aid, including transparency for aid money, proper capacity building, and the right prioritization of aid projects.
Sun Somuny, executive director of Medicam, an umbrella group of Cambodian health organizations, said groups from developing countries want aid to promote leadership and ownership.
“Not only the government, but there should be a combination between the government and civil society, people and the private sector,” he said. “All of these are pillars and important and dynamic forces in the country.”
