DESCRIPTION The PPTA will help the Government implement the FSDS 2011-_2020 to reflect progress to 2013 and identify gaps and/or challenges within the financial sector that need to be addressed during 2011_2020. The key outputs of the TA will be (i) the detailed implementation assessment of the FSDS 2011-2020 to date, and (ii) a report of the sector diagnostic review with a medium-term program of reforms for FSP IV. The TA is estimated to cost $880,000 equivalent, of which $800,000 will be financed on a grant basis from the ADB TASF. The Government will finance the remaining $80,000 equivalent that will include counterpart staff, office space and other administrative support. PROJECT RATIONALE AND LINKAGE TO COUNTRY/REGIONAL STRATEGY The Government of Cambodia (Government) requested a program loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) during program consultations in 2012. This is in line with the priority outlined in the Government's National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2011-2013 and the draft NSDP 2014_2018 as well as the country partnership strategy (CPS) for Cambodia 2011_2013.1 The development of Cambodia's financial sector is one of five core areas that best support ADB's Strategy 2020 and its goal to reduce poverty in Cambodia. Based on successful implementation of the two past and one on-going ADB Financial Sector Programs (FSP I, II and III) with effective and flexible ways of converting complex policy objectives into implementable policy actions, the Government requested continuing ADB support to the finance sector through a policy-based loan. The proposed program cluster (FSP IV) for a total of $30 million equivalent from Asian Development Fund (ADF) which will comprise two subprograms, was included in the country operations business plan (COBP) 2011_-2013. It has been designed within the framework of the Financial Sector Development Strategy (FSDS) 2011_20204 updated under FSPIII.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
