I. INTRODUCTIONThis review presents rural infrastructure indicators (telecom; electricity and heat; water,wastewater, solid waste, and drainage; and roads) for Cambodia, Lao People’s DemocraticRepublic (PDR), and Mongolia collected in April 2003 by the World Bank. A rapid assess-ment of the current state of infrastructure in the rural areas is provided through key infra-structure indicators. The utility of the collected data and ease of regular updates are alsosuggested where sufficient data warrants.

With the collected data, and the findings outlined in the report “The Poverty–Environ-ment Nexus in Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic” by Susmita Dasgupta,Uwe Deichmann, Craig Meisner, and David Wheeler of DECRG,1 a clear link among pov-erty, infrastructure service level, quality of life, environmental issues, and health is pre-sented. This link is visible in both urban and rural settings. The rural indicators are pre-sented here along with national indicators gleaned from public sources.

Table A.1 provides national health, education, and poverty indicators for Cambodia,Lao PDR, and Mongolia and comparisons with East Asia and the Pacific and Sub-SaharanAfrica as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countryaverages.

II. KEY FINDINGSFollowing are the key findings of the collected data. Annex A presents a complete set ofcollected indicators.

TelecomFigure 1 shows that rural telephone density is low, ranging from 0.7 percent in Cambodia to3.5 percent in Mongolia. Mongolia has the highest rural cell phone density of 6.8 percent.No rural residents in any of the three countries have regular access to the Internet. Whenavailable, Cambodia and Lao PDR have a greater than 95 percent success rate when placingphone calls, while Mongolia is 55 percent successful. Figure 2 shows that the average an-nual cell phone cost, including connection charges spread over three years, subscription

charges, and call charges for 300 minutes per month, is US$200 in Lao PDR, $500 in Cambo-dia, and $580 in Mongolia. The cost of cell phones would appear prohibitive: 183 percent, 68percent, and 144 percent of annual per capita incomes, respectively, in Cambodia, Lao PDR,and Mongolia, and yet their use is expanding quickly. Telecom data are particularly suscep-tible to quickly being out of date. The sector benefits from entrepreneurial inputs in areassuch as sharing of cell phones, which may affect the accuracy and applicability of the data.

Electricity and HeatFigure 3 shows that the rural electrification rate is low: 9 percent in Cambodia, 24 percent inLao PDR, and 42 percent in Mongolia. Costs vary by an order of magnitude: $0.008/kWh inLao PDR (although they are increasing by 2.3 percent per month), $.045/kWh in Mongolia,and $0.45/kWh in Cambodia (see figure 4). Rural house heating is a critical issue in Mongolia,with costs ranging from $0.07 to $0.36/Mt2 per month with an average of $0.14/Mt2 permonth. More than 89 percent of the Mongolian rural homes use individual dung, wood, orcoal stoves for heat. In Cambodia, inequity of access to electricity is high in the rural areas,although service coverage is comprehensive since much of it is provided by private sectorsuppliers able to supply services to anyone willing to pay.2

Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and DrainageAccess to an “improved” water source ranges from 25 percent in Cambodia, 32 percent inMongolia, and 38 percent in Lao PDR, as shown in figure 5, while access to improved sani-tation ranges from 10 percent in Cambodia, 19 percent in Lao PDR, and 34 percent inMongolia as shown in figure 6. Because of topography and climate, flooding is severe inCambodia, where 37 percent of rural households are flooded at least annually. A compre-hensive set of data was obtained for water and sanitation service levels and cost in LaoPDR. Virtually all water is boiled in Lao PDR prior to consumption. Data collection wasfacilitated by the Water and Sanitation Program, which is well positioned to provide thistype of information on an ongoing basis. Almost all rural areas in the three countries lackorganized solid waste collection.

RoadsRural roads information was the most difficult to obtain. Mongolia’s set of data was themost comprehensive. In Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Mongolia, 87 percent, 59 percent and 36percent of rural residents, respectively, live within 6 kilometres of an all-weather road, asshown in figure 7. About 7 percent of Mongolia’s rural roads is closed for about two monthsduring the winter. Cambodia constructed almost 13,000 kilometres of rural roads between1993 and 2002, 4,600 kilometres being paved, while in Mongolia only 1,183 kilometres ofnew rural roads were constructed between 1993 and 2002. Travel times are long in the ruralareas of these countries. For example, in Lao PDR the average travel time to a hospital is 200minutes; in Mongolia, it is 145 minutes. The end of this report presents a map of eachcountry’s road network.

III. INFRASTRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENT, AND POVERTY LINKAGEDuring the preparation of this report, an important recent study, “The Poverty–Environ-ment Nexus in Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic” by Susmita Dasguptaand others, was reviewed. Disaggregated data sets for incidence of poverty, populationdensity, and environmental problems—that is, deforestation, slope stability, access to cleanwater and sanitation, and air pollution—and health impacts—respiratory ailments, childdeaths, and diarrhea—were collected.

In Cambodia, the study showed a close spatial correlation between poverty and the lackof access to clean water and revealed that poor households have much less access to safewater than higher income households. Cambodia’s environmental problems were mainlyhousehold-level issues of indoor air pollution and water contamination. The study con-cluded that safe water is a poverty–environment nexus issue of great importance in Cam-bodia. Maps at the end of this report display the total Cambodian population by district,the correlation between incidence of poverty and road accessibility, water and sanitationindicators by district, and health indicators by district.

In Lao PDR a strong correlation was identified between poverty and lack of access tosafe water, which highlighted the strong relationship between infant diarrhea and poverty.The study concluded that poverty, safe water, sanitation, and infant mortality from diar-rhea may constitute another important poverty–environment linkage in Lao PDR. The lo-cus for this linkage appears to be the north and northeastern regions of the country. Maps atthe end of this report display the correlation between incidence of poverty and road acces-sibility in Lao PDR, as well as water, sanitation, and health indicators by district.

The report presents both the size of the poverty population in a district or province andthe incidence of poverty.3 The report also presents settlement density of the poor. This isuseful because providing infrastructure services to isolated households is more costly. Us-ing the report, plus the data collected in this study, a strategic program of infrastructureservice provision to the poor can be developed. This approach can be verified with coun-trywide health and quality-of-life indicators, which were obtained from the Internet (seetable A.1).

A strategy focusing on reducing the number of people living in absolute poverty wouldstart in Cambodia’s densely settled central axis. The second target area would be the north-ern and northeastern (mainly rural) parts of Cambodia. In Cambodia, provision of servicesto the poor would have the lowest unit cost in the southeast. Cambodia would also likelybenefit by having “growth corridors” anchored to transportation linkages to Phnom Penhthat overlay these poverty corridors.

In Lao PDR, the north and northeastern regions of the country appear to be the mainlocus for action among poverty alleviation, infrastructure services, and environmental poli-cies. Sufficient data to make these recommendations do not exist in Mongolia.

Two other World Bank reports provide relevant information for Cambodia. The PrivateSolutions for Infrastructure in Cambodia4 report presents an overview of infrastructure servicedelivery in Cambodia and suggests ways in which the environment for private sector in-volvement in infrastructure could be improved. The review is based on service sectors anddoes not necessarily differentiate between urban and rural.

3. An extreme example clarifies the underlying logic between use of poverty population and povertyincidence: ten poor households might constitute the entire population of an isolated district, whosepoverty incidence would therefore be 100 percent. However, one million poor households might rep-resent no more than 40 percent of the population in a large urban area.4. Private Solutions for Infrastructure in Cambodia: A Country Framework Report. The Public–Private In-frastructure Advisory Facility and the World Bank Group. Washington, D.C. 2002.

In 1997 a Poverty Profile of Cambodia was prepared that provides detailed povertyreviews disaggregated among rural, other urban, and Phnom Penh.5 Compared with otherEast Asian countries, rural poverty was found to be slightly lower and urban poverty slightlyhigher than the averages for Lao PDR and Vietnam, although all three countries have asignificant development gap with the rest of East Asia.

IV. DATA COLLECTIONIn April 2003, the World Bank compiled a table of infrastructure indicators for telecom,water, wastewater, solid waste, electricity, and roads. This table was distributed to WorldBank infrastructure sector specialists and revised according to their feedback. The table andapproach to data collection were consistent with a broader and more comprehensive indi-cators program being conducted by East Asia Infrastructure (EASIN). The information inthis report can be considered a “first instalment” on a broader indicators program.

Because of the specific, specialized nature of the requested indicators, in-country con-sultants and local staff collected the desired indicators. In each country data were collectedover three weeks. The consultants also assessed the degree of effort required to update thedata on a regular basis. Discussions were also held with government officials on their datarequirements and ease of acquiring relevant data.

Data were gathered predominantly from available government agencies, statistical de-partments, private and public companies, and publicly available reports. For some indica-tors, no specific information was available but reasonable estimates could be made. In allcases, the data were confirmed to the extent possible. Tables A.2 through A.6 contain thecollected data and associated sources.

An important aspect of this review was to identify which data currently exist and arerelatively easily available. This focus on readily available data is consistent with EASIN’slarger indicators program, which is planned to be broadened over the next 18 months. Muchuseful information is available, but it is spotty, usually dependent on specific agencies post-ing relevant and current information (these collected data are proposed to be added toEASIN’s website). The accuracy and relevance of data collected in the three countries’ capi-tal cities were reviewed by World Bank staff and consultants. At this time, however, nodetailed field reviews or new surveys were conducted.

V. ISSUES

Availability of DataThe available data were relatively easy to collect. Data from government agencies wereusually available within several days. Approximately 24 percent of the listed indicatorswas not available, with Cambodia having the least amount of data. Cambodia may not yethave significant experience in administrative and household data collection. Of the threecountries, Mongolia had the most data available. Data on the roads sector were the mostscarce with an average of 33 percent not available, while telecom information was the mostavailable. Table 1 summarizes data availability by sector and country.

Reliability of DataTelecom, electricity, and heat indicators appear to be the most reliable. These data are regu-larly collected and there is usually more precision and agreement on definitions. Telecomdata, however, are most rapidly out of date. Data on water and roads are more vague andthus subject to more interpretation, and are perhaps less reliable. These data are also moredifficult to collect.

Data TrendsAlthough collection methods and reliability of data may vary across countries, this reviewprovides an important opportunity to assist in monitoring the trends of key infrastructureindicators. Collection costs were sufficiently inexpensive—fewer than $5,000 per country—so that consideration should be given to collecting these data annually or biannually. Moni-toring key infrastructure service trends will provide important information on rates of im-provement, or deterioration. All three countries are overwhelmed by the pace of change ininfrastructure service demands. They are responding admirably with increases in supply,but services can rarely keep up with demand.

Rural DefinitionThe definition of “rural” varies across countries and agencies. This caused difficulties indata collection, and the distinctions between rural and urban were often nebulous. Consid-erable data are not classified between rural and urban. The distinction between urban andrural is largely artificial and arbitrary, especially in Cambodia and Lao PDR. As in the pa-per by Dasgupta and others, a better approach may simply be to disaggregate by infra-structure service levels or numbers of poor rather than by rural and urban. Box 1 summa-rizes the definition of “rural” by country.

Box 1. Definition of the Term “Rural” by Country

Cambodia

National Population Census“Rural” is defined as those areas having populations of fewer than, or equal to, 200 people persquare kilometer, and those provinces that do not contain headquarter towns. Thus, all areasother than the municipal areas of Krong Preah Sihanouk, Krong Kaeb, and Krong Pailin, andthe district areas (within Phnom Penh) of Khands of Doun Penh, Chamkar Mon, PrampirMeaqkkara, and Tuol Kouk are considered rural.

Demographic and Health SurveySame as above.

MongoliaThe rural population is defined as that which is outside the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, includ-ing urban settlements of up to 70,000 people. These are usually classified as “urban” in Mongolia,but are designated as “rural” in this report for the purpose of greater consistency with data forLao PDR and Cambodia.

Lao PDRAlthough the definition of “rural” is subject to government guidelines, such as those of theNational Statistics Centre, in practical terms the definition varies between agencies:

Nam Saat OfficeA “rural” village has no market or piped water.

National Statistics CentreA “rural” village is one that cannot satisfy at least three of the following five conditions:

• There is a market in the village.• There is a road for motor vehicles to get access to the village.• The village must lie in the municipal vicinity where the district or provincial authority is

located.• The majority of households in the village are electrified.• There is piped water supply service to the majority of households.

Local Roads DepartmentAny road with a population of fewer than 2,000 people along the road is a “rural” road.

Department of ElectricityThe department initially said that “rural” meant anywhere outside of the main cities—placeswhere there are no grid lines—but then said that it does not have a definition of “rural” forelectrification purposes, and referred the consultant to the State Planning Committee for theofficial definition of “rural.”

Department of Post and TelecomIt uses the definition of the National Statistics Centre.

Lao Telecom“Rural” means anyplace using the Rurtel phone system as opposed to the Public SwitchingTelephone Network (PSTN). This is for areas where the number of customers is too small forthe PSTN. Under normal conditions, this would properly identify rural areas, but they gaveone example of a village very near Vientiane that only recently came onto the PSTN, althoughby anybody’s definition it would not be considered a rural village.

Annex B. Desk Review of Indicators Available OnlineIn addition to gathering the rural indicators, EASUR conducted a brief, separate desk re-view of social, environmental, industrial, and expenditure indicators available on the Internetfor Cambodia, Mongolia, and Lao PDR. The review determined that an overwhelmingamount of data is available; one individual was able to collect approximately 1,000 indica-tors per country in two days. The indicators are primarily at the national level for the pe-riod of 1995 to the present. Although more detailed data can be obtained if searching on aspecific topic, the indicators in the annex give a sense of those that are readily available. Thefollowing table generally lists the major data sources used in the annex.

Table B.1: Major Data Sources Used in Annex B.

Organization Data Available Website

UNESCO Social indicators, primarily education, science, www.unesco.orgtechnology, culture, and communication

FAO Food, agriculture, and water indicators www.fao.orgADB EAP indicators in all sectors www.adb.orgUN General indicators in all sectors unstats.un.orgUNFPA Population, health, and education indicators www.unfpa.orgCIA General indicators in all sectors www.cia.govWHO Social indicators, primarily health www.who.intUSAID Specific country reports covering social indicators www.usaid.govUNESCAP EAP indicators in all sectors www.unescap.orgUNDP General indicators in all sectors www.undp.orgUNICEF Social indicators for children and youth www.unicef.orgWorld Bank Large, searchable database on all sectors; includes all (must be on

SIMA Database WDI and numerous other organizations’ World Bankdatabases sima intranet)

It can be argued that there are almost too much data available. Without a specific queryin mind, collecting data from the Internet can be overwhelming. However, often the morespecific a request, the more difficult it is to find the required (exact) indicator. The informa-tion found in the main section of this report, for example, is too specific and would not beavailable online. Extremely specific information would be found in reports rather than inthe indicator tables that are available on most websites. Searching these reports for a par-ticular indicator is time consuming, and it is possible that the indicator would not be in thedesired form. Thus, Internet research is best suited for collecting general data on a specificbut sufficiently broad sector or topic.

Another limitation of online research is that no clear and explicit definition exists forsome indicators. Without an accurate understanding of the indicator, a derivation using theindicator can be made with only limited reliability. This is also the case when making com-parisons using an indicator that is not clearly defined with an indicator from another source.In some instances, there have been different figures from different sources for what appearsto be the same indicator. However, without an exact definition from the sources, no distinc-tions can be made among indicators. Generally, explicit definitions can be obtained by con-tacting the organization. However, this is likely to be a slow and tedious process, and manyorganizations will only be able to offer limited assistance.

In general, there is a wealth of information available that is easily obtained throughdesk research. Each organization has a separate section on its website for data and statis-tics, and search engines can make specific requests simple. Furthermore, the amount ofindicators online will only increase as more organizations publish databases and tables ontheir websites. A complete copy of the indicators found and sources used in this separatereview is available electronically.
