Speeches Shim
Chenda is a very clever little girl! She wants to become a doctor when she grows up. She’s very curious when she sees her parents making fish powder and cooking the food with many kinds of vegetables. She wonders why they are doing that and finds out.
Goal: (DO2) Improved health and education for vulnerable populations. Purpose: Cambodian people seek and receive quality health care and social services with decreased financial hardship through more sustainable systems.
Cambodia, a country of just over 15 million people in Southeast Asia, has spent the last 20 years rebuilding from decades of civil war. The country has made great progress, enjoying steady economic growth rates over the recent decade and significant improvements in quality of life. Having once had the region’s highest HIV rate, Cambodia cut its prevalence rate in half from 1998 to 2010 and has made incredible advances in its fight against tuberculosis and infant deaths.
USAID works with Cambodian and international partners on a range of programs benefitting all Cambodians. Areas of focus include strengthening democratic governance and human rights, improving health and child development, fighting human trafficking, alleviating poverty, improving nutrition, increasing agricultural production and food security, and helping households adapt to and mitigate the effects of global climate change.
