Supporting the National Social Protection Policy Framework in Cambodia

This project will contribute to the nation-wide rollout of the comprehensive National Social Protection Policy Framework (NSPPF) in Cambodia. The goal of the framework is to lead to more people being covered by a more effective, efficient, accountable, equitable, sustainable, and child- and gender-sensitive social protection system. By 2022, 200,000 pregnant women and children will benefit from a cash transfer programme, with an additional 1.5 million people to be covered by pension schemes. This project forms part of a broader social protection programme co-funded 40% from UK, Sweden, Korea and 1.5 mil Euros from the EU Program on improving synergies between SP and PFM (one of 5 countries that received this funding). In addition to increased coverage, the activities of this project aim to increase cross-governmental collaboration on social protection, improved analysis of who is being left behind, and increased fiscal space for social protection. These activities will be carried out in collaboration with United Nations partners such as the World Bank, GIZ and USAID
