National Social Protection Policy Framework 2016​ to 2025

This policy framework sets out Cambodia’s long-term roadmap for developing the national social protection system from 2016 to 2025. It focuses on two main pillars: social assistance and social security. Social assistance covers emergency response, human capital development, vocational training, and welfare support for vulnerable people. Social security covers pensions, health care, employment injury, unemployment, and disability. The framework aims to improve income security, reduce poverty and vulnerability, strengthen human capital, promote social equity, and ensure financial sustainability. It also defines governance arrangements, institutional roles, financing principles, registration systems, public awareness, and action plans for strengthening Cambodia’s social protection system.
