The Council for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD) and World Vision led a vibrant campaign to raise awareness of child malnutrition issues and promote healthy food choices across Cambodia.

The initiative, spearheaded by World Vision – in collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development – is set to transform daily life for more than 8,000 households across five districts.

In 2024, World Vision International – Cambodia (WVI-C) made a profound impact, reaching over 3 million children across the country. Through strategic partnerships with government institutions, donors, and civil society, we implemented programs in education, health, child protection, economic development, and climate resilience. These efforts directly contributed to Cambodia’s Pentagonal Strategy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), helping to break cycles of poverty and create sustainable opportunities for vulnerable communities. Key achievements this year included providing quality education to over 197,000 children, training more than 3,000 teachers, and expanding health and nutrition services to 54,000 children and 19,000 pregnant women. Our economic empowerment programs helped over 4,000 farmers adopt climate-smart agriculture, while social accountability initiatives improved public service delivery in over 60% of communes. Additionally, youth-led research on climate change influenced national conversations on environmental sustainability. These achievements would not have been possible without the collaboration of development agencies, corporate sponsors, and government ministries. With funding from organizations such as the World Bank, DFAT, EU, GIZ, and SDC, we continue to scale impactful solutions for Cambodia’s children. As we move forward, we invite development partners and stakeholders to join us in building a future where every child in Cambodia can dream, learn, and thrive. Together, we create lasting change.

World Vision has been successful in advocating for government provision of nutrition services in Cambodia.

World Vision Cambodia held a consultative workshop in Phnom Penh, bringing together stakeholders from the Royal Government of Cambodia, representatives from children and youth club, international development partners, civil society organizations, and the private sector. This event provided an opportunity to reflect on the progress made since the launch of World Vision’s five-year country strategy, specifically on what has been worked, did not work and rooms for improvement, placing children at the centre of Cambodia’s development and ensuring their well-being for future generations.
