Evidence snapshot for Cambodia
Cambodia has implemented several evidence-backed programmes across labour compliance, health, environment, and education. Better Factories Cambodia has enrolled 645,000+ workers (80% women) across 660+ garment factories, coinciding with a 17% national gender pay gap reduction in the sector and productivity gains of 26–31% for factories using the full service package. Cambodia's national TB programme uses AI-aided chest X-ray screening to detect TB in hard-to-reach areas, achieving 97.7% sensitivity in a field study of 8,386 people, with the broader programme crediting approximately 500,000 people cured since 2000. The Oddar Meanchey Community Forestry REDD+ project protects 67,783 hectares across 58 villages, expected to reduce 7.1 million tonnes of CO2 over 30 years, and a Khmer Braille translation machine developed since 2022 automates production of reading materials for blind students, winning international digital awards.
