World Vision International in Cambodia’s 2025 Impact Report highlights a year of resilience, adaptation, and collective action amid significant humanitarian and development challenges. In a rapidly changing context shaped by sector‑wide disruptions and escalating border‑related conflict, World Vision Cambodia worked closely with government authorities, partners, communities, and donors to respond to urgent needs while sustaining long‑term development efforts. In 2025, World Vision Cambodia reached 5.4 million people, including 3.1 million children, nearly one third of Cambodia’s population. Humanitarian response remained a critical priority, supporting over 144,000 displaced people across 100 displacement sites, including children and people with disabilities, through life‑saving assistance such as water, sanitation, food and non‑food items, cash assistance, education, health and nutrition services, protection, and psychosocial support. Beyond emergency response, progress was achieved across education, child protection, WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, climate action, social accountability, and inclusive programming. The year also marked 55 years of World Vision’s long‑term commitment in Cambodia, reflecting sustained partnership and a shared vision for every child to experience life in all its fullness.

Following its recent commitment to emergency relief, Grab Cambodia is now actively deploying a massive wave of food and healthcare supplies to thousands of displaced families in Preah Vihear.

Svay Ta Yean Health Center, once plagued by poor infrastructure, low patient turnout, and weak accountability, has undergone a remarkable transformation through the Implementation of the Social Accountability Framework (I-SAF). In early 2023, under the leadership of Mr. Chan Boran and with support from STAR Kampuchea, community feedback was gathered through scorecards, interface meetings, and joint action plans, sparking major improvements in service delivery, transparency, and infrastructure. Today, the health center operates 24/7, treats patients with dignity, and actively engages with the community. Monthly patient visits have tripled, and deliveries have increased significantly. Residents praise the staff’s professionalism and kindness, while management commits to sustaining progress through continuous collaboration and accountability. What was once a struggling facility is now a trusted hub of quality healthcare and citizen engagement.

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.
