As part of the Mekong IP3 – Inclusive Water Governance and Climate Resilience Project, and with financial support from the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) through Oxfam, PAfID is contributing to advancing disability inclusion by providing technical support on disability inclusion to national partner and provincial implementation partners in Kratie, Stung Treng, and Ratanakiri provinces. This support aims to ensure that program implementation is inclusive of people with disabilities and promotes their active participation.
Today in Kratie Province, PAfID, in collaboration with the provincial administration and relevant technical departments, organized the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), bringing together 104 participants, including people with disabilities, community leaders, and representatives from Kratie, Stung Treng, and Ratanakiri provinces.
The event was presided over by the Deputy Provincial Governor, who also serves as Chair of the Provincial Disability Action Council (PDAC), with active participation from the Provincial Departments of Social Affairs, Environment, and Water Resources and Meteorology. Meaningful dialogue and direct engagement with people with disabilities demonstrated strong provincial commitment and openness to collaboration.
This event reflects our shared commitment to promoting disability rights, active participation, and inclusive stakeholder engagement, ensuring that no one is left behind in climate resilience, water resource governance, and broader development efforts.

Organization of People with Disabilities (OPDs) are at the frontline of disability-inclusive development and represent the voices of people with disabilities. PAfID partners with OPDs in our target provinces to strengthen access to services and development programs.
Recently, PAfID delivered training on practical advocacy and communication skills to 26 partners, including OPDs, Commune Disability Representatives (CDRs), and Disability Inclusion Promoters from Kampong Speu, Kampong Cham, Siem Reap, Battambang, and Ratanakiri. The training built on local experiences and encouraged peer learning to address challenges faced by people with disabilities.
The session also provided a work space to discuss key topics such as Commune Investment Plans (CIP), the Family Package Program, and the IDPoor Program.

On 20/11/2025 in Battambang, PAfID and the Spinal Cord Injury Association (SCIA) brought more than 120 people together for a Provincial Public Forum to strengthen understanding of spinal cord injury and improve connections to services. Participants included provincial authorities, technical departments, service providers, OPDs, community representatives, and people with disabilities.

The forum opened practical discussion on what people living with spinal cord injury need most, and how to better access health care, rehabilitation, disability identification, and social protection support. It also strengthened local relationships to help services respond more effectively and inclusively.

In Ratanakiri, 29 Indigenous people with disabilities from the Kroeung community took part in disability inclusion training delivered by PAfID and CARE, in partnership with the local organisation of persons with disabilities. The training focused on practical ways to overcome barriers that can prevent people with disabilities from accessing information, services, and opportunities.

Participants also discussed key social protection pathways, including IDPoor registration, disability identification, and the Family Package Program, so support can reach people and families who need it most. This is part of ongoing work to strengthen inclusion and ensure no one is left behind.

In collaboration with CARE under the ACCESS 2 Program to strengthen disability-inclusive services for Indigenous Peoples and as part of our ongoing commitment to promoting disability inclusion and gender equality, PAfID conducted a two-day training on disability inclusion for 34 members (22 women) of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Responsive Working Group in Ratanakiri province on 11–12 November 2025.

The GBV Working Group, a government-led coordination mechanism, plays a key role in responding to GBV cases and promoting gender equality at the sub-national level. Through this training, PAfID helped strengthen the group’s capacity to ensure that the rights and needs of persons with disabilities are meaningfully included in planning, decision-making, and service delivery.

This initiative supports Cambodia’s commitments under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the National Disability Strategic Plan (NDSP), and the National Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women (NAPVAW) that's working towards a society where no one is left behind in GBV prevention and response efforts.

We sincerely thank the Provincial Coordination Committee, ACCESS 2 Program, CARE, and all relevant stakeholders and authorities for their active engagement and strong collaboration in making this effort possible.

PAfID proudly continues our support to the National Inclusive Employment Forum, reaffirming our long-standing commitment to promoting equal access to decent work for persons with disabilities.

Aligned with Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), we believe that employment is a foundation for dignity, self-reliance, and full participation in society. When workplaces are inclusive, our economy becomes more innovative, productive, and resilient.

PAfID remains actively engaged in contributing to the implementation of the National Disability Strategic Plan (NDSP) 2024–2028, ensuring that inclusive employment is not just discussed, but practiced and strengthened across sectors.

Together, we move towards a society where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and lead.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY), the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MoLVT), the National Employment Agency (NEA), the private sector, and all development partners for their continued collaboration and commitment.

Today, PAfID is proud to once again join the National Career and Productivity Fair 2025.
Our presence here reflects our long-term commitment to advancing inclusive employment opportunities for persons with disabilities across Cambodia.

Through our ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, the National Employment Agency (NEA), the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSVY), private sector partners, and development organizations, we continue to turn policy into practice in line with the UNCRPD and the National Disability Strategic Plan (NDSP) 2024–2028.

Inclusive employment is not charity.
It is talent, contribution, innovation and a stronger workforce for Cambodia’s future.

Together, we are building pathways where skills are recognized, opportunities are accessible, and everyone can participate and thrive.

PAfID’s Commitment to Disability Inclusion and Social Protection in Cambodia.

We reaffirms our strong commitment to advancing Cambodia’s national efforts toward disability inclusion, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) particularly Article 27 (Work and Employment) and Article 28 (Adequate Standard of Living and Social Protection).

Our work contributes to the implementation of the National Disability Strategic Plan (NDSP) 2024–2028 which envisions an inclusive society where persons with disabilities can fully participate and enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

Also in alignment with the National Social Protection Policy Framework (NSPPF) 2024–2035, PAfID is proud to implement the Graduation Based Social Protection (GBSP) Program, supported by UNDP Cambodia, focusing on improving livelihood opportunities for persons with disabilities affected by landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW). Through this initiative, we aim to strengthen resilience, promote sustainable livelihoods, and support Cambodia’s journey toward a more inclusive and equitable social protection system that leaves no one behind.
