Plan International Cambodia was established in 2002 and is currently operating under its 4th Country Strategic Plan (FY22-FY27). Plan International Cambodia implements an integrated program in the provinces of Siem Reap, Stung Treng and Ratanak Kiri with the Country Office based in Phnom Penh. Additional projects are implemented in many provinces throughout Cambodia. The current Country Strategic was developed based on a child rights and girls rights horizon scanning, which assessed the root causes and gaps at household, community, district and national levels which result in girl’s rights being violated or unfulfilled. Based on this analysis, four strategic program owere developed, focused followings:

  1. Healthy Start (integrated Nutrition, ECCD and WASH);
  2. Protection Plus;
  3. Lifelong Learning (Education and TVET); and
  4. Girls Leadership

These programs have been designed to address key issues affecting children in Cambodia. Each sectoral program will integrate elements of other sectoral programs to enable them to be mutually reinforcing.
