The United Nations Country Team is made up of 23 specialised agencies, funds and programmes working together for peace, poverty reduction and human rights in Cambodia. Detailed information about the work of the United Nations in Cambodia is available by clicking on the links listed under the UN Family.

At the request of the Royal Government, the United Nations provides direct assistance, technical support, policy advice and capacity development to partners in government, civil society and local communities.

The United Nations Country Team is committed to supporting national development efforts and has identified four areas within the Government's "Rectangular Strategy" where the UN can collectively make a difference.

The UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF 2006-2010) outlines the United Nations work across these four areas of national priority:

• Good governance and the promotion and protection of human rights
• Agriculture and rural poverty
• Capacity building and human resources development for the social sectors

Development of the National Strategic Development Plan

Guiding the development work of the United Nations Country Team is the belief that eradicating poverty, investing in human development and improving livelihoods are necessary conditions for creating lasting peace, equity and prosperity in Cambodia.

In partnership with the Royal Government and the people of Cambodia, the United Nations Country Team is working to ensure that all Cambodians, especially those most excluded and vulnerable, are alleviated from abject poverty and injustice.
