income men and women access well-regulated and affordable financial services. In Cambodia, we supported national gender and development training, including on women’s economic rights for civil society. The South-East Asia Regional APPR covers the performance of these programs, and is published on our website. Performance Benchmarks Progress towards achieving the Performance Benchmarks and our indicators in our Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) were variable. While some benchmarks were achieved more than two times over, other benchmarks related to agriculture and scholarships were not achieved. We have adjusted some targets to take into account changes within the program. Progress of the Performance Benchmarks is in Annex B. Table 3 presents the updated benchmarks and targets for the remainder of the Aid Investment Plan. 3 Performance Benchmarks 2016-17 to 2017-18 2016-17 2017-18 Aid objective Improved access to essential infrastructure Benchmark Additional people and businesses connected to electricity each year TBA TBA Benchmark Additional people and businesses connected to piped, treated water each year TBA TBA Aid objective Increased agricultural productivity and farmer incomes Benchmark Number of farmers with increased productivity 13, 507 50, 490 Benchmark Additional area of land contaminated by landmines and other Explosive Remnants of War released for Productive use each year 6.5km2 6.5 km2 Aid objective Better health and education outcomes Benchmark Percentage of health facilities, hospitals and health centres, assessed by quality of care assessment tool 100% achieved 100% achieved Benchmark Increased number of health centres exceeding 60 percent score on the quality assessment of health facilities (*new) Baseline + 10% Baseline + 20% Benchmark Increased in the utilization of health services by Health Equity Fund (HEF) beneficiaries (*new) 55% 60% Benchmark Percentage of scholarships awarded (female/male) 50/50 50/50
