quality
• Good Practices:
1- A Gender Statistics Working Group has been
established in February, 2007
2- The National Institute of Statistics has
conducted several Census and Surveys and all
data are available such as:
– The 1998 population census (every ten years)
– The Inter-Censal Population Survey (every ten
years)
– The Time Use survey (one)
– The Socio-Economic Survey (every year)
– Demographic and Health Survey (every five years)
These surveys and census are the main source for
information on gender statistics.
3-Currently, NIS is full of Human resources which
have been trained abroad as well as in country.
They have enough experiences and skill on
statistics.
4- The support from the government on gender
mainstreaming. The Royal Government of
Cambodia has understood, and encouraged to
mainstream the gender into the action plan of
the Ministries.
