Cambodia has an ambitious plan of accelerating economic growth over the coming decades. In addition to the pursuit of growth, meeting the growing aspirations of the population requires policies targeting the reduction of vulnerabilities. Aware of these challenges, the Government has placed Social Protection at the core of its priorities. The launch of the National Social Protection Policy Framework (2016-2025) was a milestone and illustrates the importance placed on social protection, which for the first time combines social security (including social health insurance) and social assistance under one single strategy. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has a major role in the young system. It was established in 2008 under the provision of the 2002 Law on Social Security. The Employment Injury Scheme was launched in the same year, followed by the establishment of the mandatory Social Health Insurance (SHI) in January 2016. The pension scheme was rolled out later in 2022. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) currently counts about 1.4 million members.

The ILO is supporting the development of the NSSF and more broadly the social security system in Cambodia through analysis, evidenced based policy and financial decision making, capacity building work and knowledge transfer which will complement other ILO work on social protection.
