 note = {Cambodia has started its decentralization reform since 2001. Interestingly and not like other countries, this nation began the decentralization at the lowest tier government and then expanded to the whole sub-national administrations (SNAs). Furthermore, the decentralization implementation in this country is not full-fledged. Since decentralization is categorized into three dimensions which are political, fiscal and administrative decentralization; therefore, this paper looks at the strengths and weaknesses of decentralization reform against these three categories. 　 Firstly, political decentralization, there are elected councils at all tiers of SNAs both directly and indirectly as representatives of local citizens. However, their accountability is limited by many external factors which require more interventions. Secondly, the fiscal decentralization, the budget allocated for SNAs is increased from year to year, but SNAs rely much on the inter-governmental transfer of central government only. SNAs have not been provided much authority for more sources of revenue. Lastly, the administrative decentralization has been improved as the local elected bodies have the authorities to appoint, change and terminate not only staff at SNAs, but also other civil servants at provincial/district line ministries. Nonetheless, the central government needs to ensure SNAs manage the personnel through the fair performance assessment system to avoid nepotism.},
