1. Children immunized against measles
• Definition: It refers to the proportion of children under
1 year who received measles vaccination (source: MOH).
• Method of computation:
• Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS): Number
of children 12-23 months who received measles vaccination
before their first birthday divided the total number of
children 12-23 months and multiply the result by 100
(source (CDHS, NIS).
• Health Management Information System (HMIS): Number of
children who were fully immunized before their first
birthday divided the total number of children under 1 year
and multiply the result by 100 (source: MOH, 2013).
1. Children immunized against measles (cont.)
• Data collection and source: two data sources are
available:
• CDHS jointly conducted by National Institute of Statistics
(NIS) and Ministry of Health (every five years) in 2000,
2005 & 2010.
• HIS (Health Information System), maintaining by Ministry
of Health (MOH) which data were collected through public
health facilities (national, provincial, district hospitals and
health centers).
2. Maternal mortality ratio
• Definition: It refers to the annual number of female
deaths from any cause related to or aggravated by
pregnancy or its management (excluding accidental
and incidental causes) during pregnancy and
childbirth or within 42 days of termination of
pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of
the pregnancy, per 100,000 live birth, for a specified
year (source: MOH, 2013).
2. Maternal mortality ratio (Cont.)
• Method of computation:
Number of maternal deaths
Maternal mortality ratio =
x 100,000
Total number of live births
• Data collection and source:
• CDHS (Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey) jointly conducted by
National Institute of Statistics and Ministry of Health (every five years) in
2000, 2005 & 2010
• Population Census conducted by National Institute of Statistics (very ten
years) in 1988 & 2008
• HIS
• Reported data: NIS reported data are based on the CDHS and
Population Census data.
3. Tuberculosis prevalence rate
• Definition: It refers to the estimated number of all
forms of tuberculosis within the population, including
pulmonary (smear positive and negative), and extra
pulmonary as well as case of TB in people with HIV
(source: MOH, 2013).
• Method of computation: It is calculated for countries
through an analytic process led by WHO where TB
prevalence = incidence x proportion of incident cases
that expressed per 100,000 population (source: MOH,
2013).
3. Tuberculosis prevalence rate (Cont.)
• Data collection and source: National Center for
Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control(CENAT), Ministry of
Health (MOH).
• Reported data: NIS reported data is based solely on
annual report published by CENAT/MOH. It is also
noted that according to the CENAT annual progress
report, TB prevalence covered mainly smear positive
TB cases.
4. Population using improved sanitation
facilities
• Definition: Is defined as the percentage of the
population using an improved sanitation facility.
Improved sanitation facility is the facility that is private owned
by the household and that can effectively separate human
excreta from human contact. Types of improved sanitation
facilities:
• Pour flush/flush connected to sewerage
• Pour flush/flush connected to septic tank
• Pit latrine with slab
4. Population using improved sanitation
facilities (Cont.)
• Method of computation: it was calculated by dividing
the number of people using improved sanitation facilities
to the total population and multiply the result by 100.
• Data source:
• CSES conducted by NIS in 1993-94, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2004, and
yearly conducted 2007-2014
• CDHS conducted by NIS every five years (2005, 2010 & 2010)
• Inter-Censual Population Survey (CIPS) conducted by NIS in 2003
& 2013
• Population Census conducted by NIS every ten years (1998 &
2008)
• Reported data: It is noted that NIS reported data is based
solely on CSES.
5. Youth unemployment rate
• Definition: Is defined as the percentage of unemployed
persons age 15-24 yeas old to total economically active
population (in the labor force) in the same age group.
Unemployed persons are persons in the labor force who did
not work or had no job or business during the reference
period, the past seven days, but were reported available and
actively seeking work. Also considered as unemployed are
persons without job or business who were reported as
available or because of temporary illness/disability, bad
weather, pending job application or waiting for job interview
(Source: CSES).
5. Youth unemployment rate (Cont.)
• Method of computation:
Unemployed population (15-24)
Youth unemployment rate =
x 100
Total labor force (15-24)
• Data source:
• CSES conducted by NIS in 1993-94, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2004, and yearly
conducted 2007-2014
• CDHS conducted by NIS every five years (2005, 2010 & 2010)
• Cambodia Labor Force Survey (CLFS), conducted by NIS in 2012
• Inter-Censual Population Survey (CIPS), conducted by NIS in 2003 & 2013
• Population Census conducted by NIS every ten years (1998 & 2008)
• Reported data: It is noted that NIS reported data is based solely on
CSES
6. Some observations and issues for
consideration
• The definition of improved sanitation facilities was differed
and changed over the time due to different surveys were
collected data for the same indicator
• Estimated/reported data for an indicator in general is based
directly/solely on survey or census, while data available for
the indicator can be found from many sources
• Lack of availability of statistics with technical notes in most
line ministries who produced the data
• Lack of harmonization and standardization of concepts and
definitions, methodologies and classification within NIS as
well as within NSS
• Technical assistance is crucial to review or revision of
concepts, definitions and method of measurements
