Abstract
Gender equality in Cambodia has improved over the last decade, in line with overall economic progress and increased living standards, especially in outcomes such as girls’ and women’s human capital accumulation in education. Yet significant challenges remain, especially in women’s economic participation. Cambodia’s legislation evaluated by the 2024 edition of Women, Business and the Law (WBL), presents a mixed picture. The objective of the country gender action plan (CGAP) is to summarize key gender issues in Cambodia and highlight entry points through which the World Bank Group’s country program can advance gender equality. It is meant to serve as a management and monitoring tool for the World Bank country team to track commitments and progress during and at the end of the Country Partnership Framework (CPF) cycle. This CGAP draws on an updated diagnostic on gender gaps in Cambodia, either new or those that have persisted, and lessons from the previous CPF cycle. It also aims to better align the WBG’s engagement in Cambodia with the new WBG gender strategy 2023-2030. The CGAP is organized as follows: section 1 documents the status of gender equality in Cambodia. It focuses on changes since the last CGAP-CPF period (2019-23), adopting the framework of the new WBG gender strategy (2024-2030) and relying on an increasing body of available data and thematic research. Section 2 presents government priorities to address gender inequality. Section 3 documents lessons from the implementation of the previous CPF cycle. Section 4 outlines key priority areas, pillars, and commitments for the World Bank in advancing gender equality (FY25–FY29).
