KHM/16/02/RBS Asia and the Pacific Cambodia Completed This project is part of the Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All
Description
The project aims at increasing the quality and coverage of social protection in Cambodia, which is at an early stage. The Ministry of Economy and Finance leads a multi-ministerial team that developed a Social Protection Policy Framework bringing together social insurance and social assistance under one policy document for the first time in the country. The ILO has performed the actuarial review of the Employment Injury Insurance and Social Health Insurance branches of the National Social Security Fund and supported the development of costing exercises for the extension of health equity funds and is currently conducting a full actuarial study for private and public pension schemes through a partnership with AFD (Agence française de développement). A series of technical notes on health insurance, pension and social assistance were prepared and used to back with evidence the development of the Social Protection Policy Framework Strategy and the elaboration of the Social Protection Law. An assessment will be conducted on policy options for the expansion of social protection to the informal economy, with a special focus on the construction industry. Technical advice was provided for the design and implementation of social assistance schemes, including a detailed costing of the proposed interventions jointly developed with UNICEF.SDG
