| Cross-cutting Issue |
Environment |
It was apparent that the project itself was environmentally friendly since it is flood control project |
| Gender |
There was no evidence that gender main-streaming was obviously taken into account in project design and preparation. In the results, however, it was evaluated that the project itself had a positive impact on the role of women in development and the status of women. |
| Impact Analysis |
The Flood Control Project in Batheay region has high relevance with the context of Korea's policy and strategy regarding Cambodia, the national development plan of Cambodia, the project objective, methodology, implementation and progression, and international development objectives and global standards. Furthermore, the irrigation project and the flood control project have the same project area and recipient group. The flood control and irrigation contruction have high consistency with the regional and national development strategy. The development strategy of Cambodia and the Korean Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) regarding Cambodia place a high priority on agricultural development and water resource management. This project is the representative project to achieve this goal. |

Ownership/Partnership |
Evaluation |
Ownership' has not been mentioned in the evaluation report. Howerver, the report states that the political sustainability can be guaranteed since the Cambodian government is placing a high priority on the water resource management sector, which could imply high ownership of Cambodian government. Also, when it comes to repairing damage, the evaluation considered that MOWRAM do not yet exercise sufficient ownership to engage actively. |

| Alignment/Composition of Finance |
Evaluation |
Considering the damage from the huge floods in 2001 and 2011, the Project was designed in accordance to only 10-year probability of flood in the region. So, the sustainability of the flood control facilities can't be guaranteed as the permanent flood control system. Furthermore, the report states that it is necessary to repair the facilities that have become damaged from sourcing or erosion brought about by rainfall and flood. But, MOWRAM supports repair only in cases of severe damage. |
