Section 5 - Implementation

A three steps implementation:

The National Social Protection Strategy for the Poor and Vulnerable will be implemented during 2011-2015 through a pilot testing phase at the central level and in two pilot provinces: Siem Reap and Banteay Meanchey. In accordance with this overall framework it is proposed to proceed with the implementation of the SSDM in three steps:

Steps	Scale	Description of the area	Objectives	Focus on
Step 1 (2013 and 2014)	The SSDM will be piloted in two districts of Siem Reap province	Srei Snam district – six communes Angkor Chum district – seven communes	Test the principle of the SSDM; Test the processes and tools; Adjust the design of the SSDM	Village, commune and district functions
Step 2 (2015)	The SSDM will be generalized in Siem Reap province	Twelve districts 100 communes	Test the mechanism at a larger scale; Implement the province functions to support the SSDM	Village, commune and district functions + province functions
Step 3 (2016)	The SSDM will be expanded to the 2nd pilot province (Banteay Meanchey)	Nine districts 64 communes	Implement national coordination and monitoring functions of the SSDM; Establish and test coordination between the central and sub-national levels	Village, commune and district functions + province functions + national functions

By the end of 2016, a final assessment of the pilot results will allow the Cambodian government to launch the national rollout of the SSDM.

Actual stage of implementation:

The implementation in currently at step 1, the mechanism is implemented in two communes of each pilot district (Angkor Chum and Srei Snam). It is expected that by the end of 2014, the SSDM will be expeed to all communes of the two districts.
