Mr. Savat from ADHOC had some question related to what difference from NSDP and SDG? How should we integrate trade and investment? Through your presentation, only focus by sector but not define subsector eg. Fisheries, land. It does not clear define the objective. For example, end poverty in all it forms which based on UNDAP to achieve CSDG or NSDP?

Mr. Youra. Based on ministry of planning will focus on mid-term review for NSDP 2014-2018 as well as identify key challenges. CSDG 2016-2030 is part of NSDP and Key sector strategies. From now till 29 June only focus on key content. The technical team of ministry of planning will working on it.

Ms. Solin from Oxfam, we should look at different channels for engage in draft con¬tent of NSDP development eg. Climate change and energy policy were developed for 10 years. Eg. We should work through TWG with line ministries. It is good to work through sector with line ministries. It would be good if we have good relationship with line ministries.

Mr. Norng Sivuthan from HEKS, we should reflect our work on the current NSDP and why Ministry of planning not includes all the comments from NGO Forum rather than we continue working on next NSDP development otherwise we will vast time to work on desk review.

Mr. Tek Vannara. In Technical Working Groups (TWGs), for example Climate change, Agriculture, Water and Food security presented their sector draft documents. NGO can propose content through TWG otherwise it would vest time. Some sector that not cover how can we work and provide input. They provided contact person for submission the CSO inputs. We can send general comment to ministry of planning. H.E Sok Silo will accept draft content from NDF-C on food security sector. The position paper will be developed. NEP will work with working group on education. For justice will work with ADHOC, Licadho and CLEC for binding all the CSO position paper. We will work through TWG.
