Donor Support – 1992

The International Ministerial Conference on Rebuilding Cambodia, (also referred to as the Tokyo Conference), was concluded on June 22, 1992. In a press conference, UNTAC president, Yasushi Akashi, remarked that the conference was ”an unqualified and spectacular success.” In the conference, $880 Million was pledged, which exceeded the UN Secretary-General’s request. This was due ”to the fact that some needs identified by donors go beyond the minimum needs that were included in the appeal of the Secretary-General.” Japan was the largest contributor — donating 150 to 200m dollars and they were followed by the United States who donated 135m dollars. France and the UN Development Programme were the third largest contributor, giving 57m dollars each.¹
