| Alignment/Composition of Finance |
Evaluation |
Sustainability of the project considered low since major problems have been observed in terms of financial aspects. Expenses for activities (staff costs, overtime, telecommunications, travel, etc) necessary for operations are paid out of JICA funds and are not covered by budget money from Cambodian side. According to JICA, the latest ration of CJCC's own income to toal operational expenses was 34% in 2009, and it is till hardly said to be sufficient. |
