Situation Report 23

Through the Implementation of the Social Accountability Framework (ISAF), Community Accountability Facilitators across Cambodia are helping bridge the gap between citizens and public service providers. Trained by World Vision International and supported by the World Bank and development partners, these local volunteers empower communities—especially women, people with disabilities, and rural families—to voice concerns, understand their rights, and improve access to education, health, and local administrative services. Their efforts have led to tangible improvements, including shorter wait times at health centers, higher school enrollment, cleaner and safer learning environments, and stronger trust between communities and authorities—demonstrating how citizen feedback can drive better, more responsive public services.
