What works in Cambodia

Cambodia's evidence base demonstrates progress across labour compliance, public health, environmental conservation, and digital inclusion. Better Factories Cambodia shows a 17% reduction in the national gender pay gap in the garment sector alongside productivity gains of 26–31% in factories using the full service package, with over 645,000 workers (80% women) enrolled across 660+ factories. AI Computer-Aided Detection for Tuberculosis Screening documents that Cambodia's national TB programme achieved 97.7% sensitivity in detecting confirmed TB cases among 8,386 screened people, contributing to a national TB prevalence decline of roughly 45–50% per decade. Oddar Meanchey Community Forestry REDD+ shows forest protection of 67,783 hectares across 13 community groups serving approximately 10,000 households, with expected emission reductions of 7.1 million tonnes CO₂ over 30 years. These practices are observational or self-reported and do not constitute a comprehensive national assessment; they document specific sectoral and programmatic results rather than population-wide outcomes.
