Closing Date: 16-Augest- 2026

POSITION BACKGROUND

In mid-2025, armed clashes along the Cambodia–Thailand border caused nearly one million Cambodian migrant workers to return home rapidly. The mass influx strained local health and social systems, leaving many returnees—especially the poor and indebted—without jobs, adequate food, or healthcare. These conditions increased vulnerability to infectious diseases and disrupted routine maternal and child health services.

The border displacement crisis severely disrupted health services in affected Cambodian provinces. Many health facilities were damaged or inaccessible, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) risks further limited outreach and movement. As a result, essential services—including ANC, PNC, institutional deliveries, child nutrition, and immunization—were widely interrupted, especially for displaced and undocumented families. Pre-existing immunization gaps worsened dramatically: national measles-rubella coverage was already low (MR1 at 79%, MR2 at 64% in 2023), and the 2025 crisis led to a major measles outbreak, with over 3,600 confirmed cases by August—more than five times the total in 2024—mostly in border and displaced communities.

From a Global Health Security perspective, Cambodia’s border provinces are high-risk areas for zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. Ongoing avian influenza A (H5N1) transmission in poultry and humans led to 17 confirmed human cases between 2024 and 2025, with over 50% mortality, underscoring the need for strong early detection and One Health coordination. Regional alerts about potential Nipah virus spillover have further raised concern, given Cambodia’s ecological vulnerability, frequent human–bat contact, and weak rural surveillance systems.

The project uses a health system–strengthening approach to enhance the quality and equitable use of global health security, maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) services in 03 target provinces over 09 months starting from April 2026. The project has engaged the National Maternal and Child Health Center (NMCHC) and Communicable Disease Controle (CDC) department of MoH to ensure technical alignment and collaborative implementation in line with MCH/SBCC-MIYCN and GHS standards.
