Along the border between Cambodia and Thailand, the sound of conflict may have faded, but for thousands of families, the consequences are still unfolding, quietly, deeply, and every day.

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has partnered with World Vision International in Cambodia to deliver life‑saving nutrition and newborn care support to displaced families still living in safety centres across Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear. With a contribution of EUR 111,111.11, the project provides essential supplements and therapeutic foods for 2,500 children under five and 1,000 pregnant and lactating women, along with 200 newborn care kits for vulnerable mothers. The support builds on Germany’s earlier assistance in September 2025 and comes at a time when many families continue to face uncertainty and limited access to food and healthcare. The initiative is implemented in coordination with local authorities and health facilities to ensure effective and accountable delivery. World Vision Cambodia’s National Director, Janes I. Ginting, highlighted the ongoing hardships faced by displaced families and expressed gratitude to the German Embassy for its continued commitment. For mothers like Sreynoch, a first‑time mother living in a safety centre, the assistance brings both immediate relief and hope as families await a safe return home.

World Vision Cambodia Annual Impact Brief 2025

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.
