Cambodia has been rebuilding itself over the years following the devastation of war. Although it remains one of Asia’s least developed countries, it has made marked progress in reducing poverty and improving health care. Even with the majority of Cambodians living in rural areas, the country has managed to reduce maternal and infant mortality, with the support of UNFPA. Continued investments in the health, education and opportunities of the large population of young people could help the country realize a substantial demographic dividend.
